2023 Israel–Hamas war
Palestinian militant groups call the offensive Operation al-Aqsa Flood (amaliyyat ṭūfān al-ʾAqṣā). Israeli authorities call its counteroffensive Operation Iron Swords (Mivtsá charavót barzél). Some news agencies and commentators have called the ongoing conflict the Third Intifada(related pages, First and Second Intifadas). Others have called it the Sukkot War, after the festivity celebrated the day the conflict started. Many analysts and officials have called the first conflict, "Israel's 9/11 moment".
