This is a developing story.
Following years of bombings, daily murders of civilians and children, a 16-year siege on Gaza, apartheid and occupation by Israeli forces and settlers, the Palestinian population have seen their conditions go from bad to worse in what can be described as an ongoing genocide.
On the 7th of October, operation Al-Aqsa Flood shocked the world.
While Palestinian resistance efforts have continued since before the 1948 Nakba, these efforts have been greatly sporadic, especially in recent years as occupation forces have increased their stranglehold on Palestinians.
Al-Aqsa Flood represents a significant turn, as Palestinian resistance fighters have been able to gain significant ground and cause unprecedented damage to occupation forces.
The young children who were once throwing rocks on Israeli occupation tanks and have lived their entire life under siege are now choosing to resist, denounce life under a cage and strive for liberation.
We share below an updatable timeline of the events.
The timeline was created using a combination of social media posts made by Gazans, Palestinian news Sources, and live news reports. Unavoidably, the timeline might have statistical generalizations instead of accurate numbers (such as “hundreds” instead of 273) given the hazardous state of data collection in the context of ongoing bombing and fighting:
First Day
On Saturday dawn, Palestinian fighters initiated a mix of operations at the same time, launching rocket fire into occupied territory, infiltrating southern occupied zones, taking control of several Israeli settlements and taking dozens of soldiers and civilians hostage. In the very first hours of Saturday, it was estimated that around 30 Israeli soldiers and settlers were either killed or captured.
The raid into settlements reached as far as 26km away from the sieged Gaza and took various directions, with resistance fighters gaining control in some areas and exchanging shots with occupation forces in others.
Videos and images of Palestinians riding Israeli tanks and military vehicles and celebrating the demolition of others circulated widely across the internet. Significantly, a Palestinian bulldozer demolished the barbed wire fence and walls east of Gaza – emblematic of Palestinian, Arab and worldwide sentiments that Gaza is freeing itself.
A few hours later, Israeli air strikes on Gaza exponentially increased, bombing mostly civilian buildings such as homes, residential towers hosting dozens of families, and social service centers.
By the end of the first day: the Palestinian Ministry of Health announced that 232 Palestinians were killed and many more injured, in what is analytically vast underestimates. It was estimated that around 300 Israelis were killed on the first day and that “several times greater” than dozens were captured according to Hamas’s military wing.
While Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Israel is at war, international media was quick to frame the issue as an unprovoked attack by Hamas against Israeli civilians. Most dominant Western politicians quickly condemned Hamas only while staying silent on the initial cause of the issue: ongoing occupation and apartheid.
Second Day
On the 2nd day of fighting, Israeli forces intensified air strikes and bombing, hitting vast numbers of residential towers, commercial buildings and homes, often without warning residents. Palestinian families started taking shelter in UN schools. However, Israeli air strikes also targeted UN schools.
It was on Sunday that Lebanon was directly impacted by the fighting, as the first mortar shells fell at an Israeli military base on the borders between Palestine and Lebanon.
In Alexandria, an Egyptian police officer killed at least two Israeli settlers.
By the end of the day, the number of Israeli soldiers and settlers killed rose to around 600. Israeli occupation forces have been behind some of these kills, as they mistakenly suspected the occupiers for Palestinian fighters.
The number of Palestinians who were killed, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, rose to 370 and injuries reached 2,200, also safely assumed to be large underestimates.
Also, it was estimated that around 13 Palestinians were killed by occupation forces in the occupied West Bank.
Third Day
Israeli strikes continued to bomb residential areas including mosques, the densely populated Al Shati and Jabalia refugee camps where Israeli warplanes committed massacres, an ambulance carrying a number of injured to hospitals and an entire block in Al Remal neighborhood in what is described as “the annihilation of families.”
Palestinian resistance hit several occupied areas with rockets, reaching the city of Tel Aviv and hitting areas in Asdoud and Askalan and the airport of Lod City.
Confrontations took place in several areas, including in Issawiya village in the occupied city of Jerusalem between Palestinians and Israeli occupation forces.

On Monday, gunfire was exchanged between occupation forces and gunmen at the Palestinian – Lebanese borders. Later on during the day, fighting between Lebanese and occupation forces took place, with Hezbollah later announcing that 3 of its members were killed. Israeli sources also announced that Deputy Commander of the 300th Brigade Forces was killed in fighting along the Lebanese borders. Many have considered this as a development that might involve Lebanon deeply in the fighting.
Towards the end of the day, the number of Israeli soldiers and settlers killed was estimated at 900 since the beginning of the Al-Aqsa Flood.
Meanwhile, the Palestinian Ministry of Health announced that 687 Palestinians were killed during the Israeli aggression against Gaza.

Lebanon

By the end of the day, the death toll in Gaza had risen to 900 since Saturday, including 260 children and 230 women, in addition to 4,500 people wounded.
Since the start of the conflict, an estimated 1,000 Israelis had also died as a result of the clashes.
