Amid the concerning death toll that eventually crossed the 41,000 mark resulting from the blood bath that began almost a year ago on October 07 between Israel and Hamas, the number of casualties has only increased as the conflict has seemingly reached the terrifying point where a ‘possibility’ for a World War 3 is just a few attacks away as per many. October 02, which at least for India, was supposed to be a day to preach peace and ‘nonviolence’ because of Gandhi Jayanti, turned into a ‘war alarm’ for the world after Iran reportedly launched a ‘barrage of missiles’ on Israel. As per CBN news, the ‘200 ballistic missiles’ at the country's ‘military and security targets’ were in retaliation to attacks on Gaza and Lebanon. Amid all the chaos that erupted in the dead of the night, netizens are seemingly busy with their own drama.

Believe it or not, internet users have already started flooding social media with their WW3 memes and jokes. The world’s political stances and peace might be walking on ‘thin ice’, but for netizens, the matter has turned into source material for memes that either reek dark rumour or are simply too ‘real’ to handle. From making jokes about how people might miss their phones and coffee at the ‘battlefield’ to pointing out the chaos on Mahatma Gandhi’s birthday, there are all sorts of memes that have taken social media over.

For those still unaware, the conflict in the Middle East majorly escalated last year in October, when the terrorist organisation Hamas attacked Israel, reportedly killing nearly 1,200 people. The matter only escalated after Israel declared war against Hamas, which killed thousands in Gaza and Palestine. Last night’s attack on Israel by Iran was also yet another breaking point. As per reports, Iran’s attack was in retaliation to the recent killings of Hamas, Hezbollah and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) leaders. Reportedly, Israel's Iron Dome intercepted some of the missiles launched by Iran, resulting in a warning.
