As the armed conflict between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas, which had been taking place in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, completes one year, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday asserted that Tel Aviv would achieve victory in the ongoing conflict and emphasised that his country's military "completely transformed reality" over the past year.

Addressing Israeli troops at the military base, Netanyahu said Israel “will win” in its ongoing conflict against militants in both the Gaza Strip and Lebanon. "I am here with IDF soldiers at the northern border,” Netanyahu said on Sunday. “A few meters from here are their friends across the border, dismantling the terrorist infrastructure that Hezbollah prepared to attack our communities,” he said.

“A year ago, we suffered a terrible blow,” Netanyahu said while referring to the Hamas attack in southern Israel in October last year. His remarks come nearly a year after a surprise attack by Palestinian militant group Hamas, that triggered an escalation in the Gaza war, with tensions also mounting as Israel prepares potential strikes against Iran. 

Meanwhile, Hamas said that the October 7 attack was "glorious" and said the Palestinians were "writing a new history with their resistance".

The conflict between Israel and Palestine escalated in 2023, resulting in unprecedented human suffering and loss of lives. On October 7, 2023, Hamas launched a surprise attack on Tel Aviv, reportedly killing thousands of civilians. 

Following Palestine’s surprise attack, Israel launched intense military operations in Gaza, which resulted in the death of many civilians. Following the escalation of war, the international community has called for peace.
