Israelis see Gaza through the lens of Oct. 7 trauma

Original: Much of the world sees tragedy in Gaza. Many Israelis, scarred by Oct. 7, see only a threat

Much of the world views the suffering in Gaza as a tragedy, but many Israelis continue to see the territory chiefly as a security threat. Reporting highlights how the trauma of Hamas's Oct. 7, 2023 attack, which killed about 1,200 people and saw roughly 250 taken hostage, has shaped a public perception that diverges sharply from international opinion on the war and Gaza's civilian toll.

Why now: The stark gap between international and Israeli perceptions of the Gaza war remains a focal point of global debate.
