3 years of Hamas attack: Scarred Israel, devastated Gaza & a Middle East no longer same
Three years after the October 7 Hamas attack, the resulting war in Gaza continues to reshape the Middle East's geopolitical landscape and individual lives. The conflict has caused widespread devastation in Gaza and left lasting psychological scars on Israeli survivors.
Why it matters
The ongoing regional instability and humanitarian crisis remain central issues in global diplomacy and security.
Three years after Hamas’s October 7, 2023 attack on Israel, the shockwaves of that day continue to shape lives, politics and security across the Middle East. What began as a devastating assault on southern Israel grew into a prolonged war in Gaza and then widened into a regional confrontation involving Hezbollah, the Houthis, Iran and Iran-backed groups.The conflict has left behind two deeply traumatic realities - the Israeli experience of the attack, hostage-taking and continuing security fears, and the Palestinian devastation caused by the war in Gaza. Beyond the immediate human cost, the conflict has also altered alliances, weakened Iran’s regional network, changed Israel’s military calculations and disrupted diplomatic efforts across the region.For those who lived through October 7, however, the consequences are not measured only in geopolitical shifts.
