Abstract

Hamas is an Islamist militant group based in the Gaza Strip. Its main goal is to continue fighting against Israel and is intended to secure support for the Palestinian cause from the international community. After the events of October 7, 2023, the Iranian regime and its proxies launched a multi-front attack on Israel. For Israel, this poses a serious threat, prompting a strong military response that includes extensive bombing and targeted actions against key leaders of Hamas and Hezbollah. India unequivocally condemned this terrorist attack in Israel, calling it an act of terrorism, and is also providing humanitarian assistance to the people in Gaza. India supports Israel and calls for a peaceful end to the conflict, stressing the importance of diplomacy and dialogue rather than violence.
