Why did Hamas choose October 6 to attack Israel?

   Gaza: (News Hub Update latest News. October 8, 2023)The Gaza resistance group Hamas launched the Al-Aqsa operation yesterday and fired more than 500 rockets at Israel, killing more than 300 Israelis, including an Israeli commander and 26 soldiers. An important revelation has come out regarding why the ruling party of Gaza and the resistance organization Hamas chose October 6 for this important operation.

   The power-hungry Israel had no idea that October 6 would become a nightmare forever, the day Israel's self-proclaimed number one army, equipped with modern weapons and technology, proved to be a trifle.

   The question is very important why did Hamas choose October 6 for this action that shocked the world? The reason for this is October 6, 1973, when the Jewish holiest day, Yom Kippur, was being celebrated.

   Israel launched a war against Syria, Egypt, and their allies on October 6, 1973, which lasted until October 26. Syria and Egypt have pushed to end Israeli occupation of the Sinai Peninsula and Golan Heights since 1967.

   Israel was forced to come to the negotiation table and Syria and Egypt succeeded in the negotiations, in the joy of which the then president of Egypt, Anwar Sadat, announced that the national day would be celebrated on October 6 instead of July 23.

    This war from October 6 to October 26, 1973, was called the Yom Kippur War by Israel, after its holiest day, Yom Kippur. Exactly 50 years later, Hamas gave a toothless response to Israel by choosing October 6.

   It should be remembered that the holiest day of the Jews, Yom Kippur is celebrated on the last day of "Ishrat Toba", which is a long fast from sunset to sunset the next day, with the aim of repenting for the whole year. On this day, Jews apologize to each other and remove their grievances.

   Yom Kippur falls every year in October or September, and in 1973 the day fell on October 6.
