A life and death armed war has been going on between Palestine and Israel since October 7, 2023. The people of Palestine, knowing inevitable death are fighting against Israel for saving their own country and existence. On the other hand Israel, in view of occupying Gaza trusting a fable of the Bible and instigating of the western countries including US has been attacking on Palestine and killing the Muslims indiscriminately for long times. But Palestine is not thoroughly drowned in silence. They have also been driving counter-attack in resistance of the attack for year after year. In its continuity Hamas threw 5 thousand missiles in Israel from Gaza-valley.

The Hamas, an armed organization of Palestine who lives in a little part of Gaza threw nearly 5 thousand rockets marking different establishments of Israel on October 7 to respond of attack on the Al-Aksa mosque and establishing illegal dwellings. The reason of throwing innumerous rockets was to confuse Israel and in opportunity of confusing the Hamas’s fighters, jumping over the well-protected border fence attacked in the Israel’s dwellings.

Israel has said that the Hamas has killed their hundreds people. It is learnt the rescuers of Israel rescued 260 dead bodies from a Music Festival. The western world has recognized this attack of Hamas as the terrorist activity. But the killing-news of innocent people including women-children of this region is not new. One thousand fighters of Hamas, breaking the all times compact security fence of Israel drove that attack which was incredible to the mankind.

Besides, Hamas is barricaded in a little land of Gaza by Israel and Egypt. In this situation Israel was also stunned in such sudden attack. The people of Gaza did not agree the direction of Israel. They did not go aside from north to south of Gaza. The people are accepting the unavoidable death. The Israeli army does not enter Gaza, but they are all destroying in attack of aircraft and rockets. In their discriminate attack the hospitals are also not saving. Nearly 500 hundred Palestine’s people died in rocket-attack on hospitals and hundreds of people have turned down under the walls.

Though Israel has gathered 3 lakh armies in the border, but they are not desirous to involve in land fight. If the Israel-armies enter Gaza not to bringing down the Hamas’s strength then face to face collision is unpreventable and Israel-armies will be faced of a dire protest, because the hole defense military array are existence everywhere of Gaza. So, Israel’s armies have tried to ruin completely the Hamas’s resistance force in attack of aircraft and rockets.

Another cause is not can mark their prisoners’ existence surely. Besides, there is no green signal of US on behalf of land-movement, because US would not like that Israel occupies Gaza. If Israel occupies Gaza then the influence of US on Muslims countries of Middle-East will go down seriously. But Israel will not stop very soon. They will ruin the ability of hitting again including the underground holes. The Defense Minister of the war time emergency government has given declaration to vanish the Hamas from the world. The Prime Minister of Israel has also said, ‘Every Hamas-member is now a death man’.

The people of Gaza-valley are dependent on Israel for energy, water and fuel. But Israel has closed all. This time US has also stayed beside Israel like past in which Hamas cannot get assistance from any country and for that reason the war-ships and fighter-planes of US and UK are patrolling in the Mediterranean- Sea. The US president, Defense Minister, Foreign Minister and UK Prime Minister, going to Israel are encouraging them and giving surety that they will remain with them.

Besides, all leaders of Europe including Ukraine’s President have stood beside Israel and are making sure of assistance. Russia has given veto in a condemn proposal in the United Nation’s Security Counsel for Hamas’s activities. Though Russia and China have taken neutral role, but they both are eager in establishing independent Palestine State. The President of Turkey has described the power-enforced by Israel as the genocide and he has also given a mediation proposal to stop the war.

Saudi Arabia has been discussing with US and Israel to stop the war. South Korea has made responsible US and Israel for this present situation. Till so long India opposed the occupancy of Israel and gave support to establish independent Palestine State, but now they have made known integration to Israel condemning the terrorist attack of the Hamas. Later, India has changed its staying. They have given a statement for forming Palestine State.

Bangladesh is always beside Palestine. Bangabandhu rejected the intense desire of recognition of Israel in 1972. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has urged of stopping the war condemning the brutal attack of Israel in Gaza and has given direction of sending medicines in Gaza. BNP is now silent because they are friend of US, so they have lost rights and freedom of standing against Israel. Colombia a country of Latin America has established an example supporting the Hamas. They have driven out the Israel’s Ambassador and have named this brutal attack as the genocide.

Only Iran among 57 Muslim countries is a real friend of the Hamas. But they would not like to involve in the war. A larger Muslim mass-gathering has been held in Iraq in leading of Moktada Al-Sador and people-gathering is also being in other Muslim countries against Israel.

In pathetic circumstances of human up set in Gaza more than hundred food-loaded trucks are waiting in the Egypt border. But Israel is not giving permission to enter the trucks in Gaza. Only 20 trucks have been permitted to enter Gaza in honor of Joe Biden. Thus if the people of Palestine remain imprisoned then they will be vanished not getting of water, energy, food and medical treatment. More than 9 thousand innocent people including children have been killed in Israel attack till now.

Different countries including UN have been creating pressure to stop attack on innocent people of Gaza for some days, but Israel is making light of these pressures, rather the Prime Minister of Israel has said rudely that they would not stop attack on Gaza. The United Nations have said the attack in the refugee camps in Gaza is a probable war-crime.

The Muslims countries are gradually making diplomatic relation with Israel and Israel is constantly increasing their circle through establishing dwelling in Gaza. Israel is displeased to return in their past position. So, Hamas sometimes gives declaration of their existence sacrificing their lives and gives desperate attempt in the breast of Israel. The military attack of Israel can destroy their all forces periodically, but they will never be able to ruin the Hamas’s entire ability that will be created from rubbish like finix bird. The young people of Palestine will be more inspired to sacrifice their lives for motherland.
