Hamas' multi-pronged attack on illegal Israeli settlements and towns near Gaza fence has suddenly plunged Israel and Palestine into battle. Here're five things to know about the attack:

That colossal failure still haunts the legacy of then-prime minister Golda Meir and helped bring down the lengthy rule of the once-dominant Labour Party. Hamas claimed its fighters took several Israelis captive in the enclave. It said senior Israeli military officers were among the captives.In a dramatic escalation unseen in decades, Hamas also sent paragliders flying into Israel, the Israeli military said.
Competing claims over the site, known to Jews as the Temple Mount, have spilt into violence before, including a bloody 11-day Israeli aggression on Gaza in 2021. In negotiations with Qatar, Egypt and the United Nations, Hamas has pushed for Israeli concessions that could loosen the 17-year blockade on the enclave and help halt a worsening financial crisis.
