On October 7, 2023, Palestinian militant group Hamas led an invasion into Israel via the Gaza Strip, marking the first time direct contact was made on Israeli territory since the First Arab-Israeli War in 1948 and 1949. Following attacks on bordering communities and Israeli military bases, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu formally declared war and issued counter-offensive strikes.
A number of devastating attacks across Gaza have followed, prompting many to send substantial humanitarian assistance to the affected areas. According to a survey conducted in September 2024, nearly one-third of Americans expressed support for increasing humanitarian aid to Palestinians.
