 Gaza: Gaza's ruling party and resistance group Hamas launched Operation Storm Al-Aqsa 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 Hamas chose October 6 for this important operation.

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

 According to the international news organization, more than 300 Israelis have been killed in Hamas's attack on Israel, including 26 military personnel and commanders, when hundreds of military personnel have been arrested by throwing weapons.

 Despite Prime Minister Netanyahu's threats of revenge, the Israeli army could not free its hostages and bombarded residential areas of Gaza to cover up the failure, in which more than 250 Palestinians have been martyred so far.

 This question is of great importance as to why Hamas chose October 6 for this action that shocked the world.  So the reason for this is October 6, 1973, when the Jewish holiest day, Yom Kippur, was being celebrated.

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

 Israel was forced to come to the negotiating table and Egypt-Syria won 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.

 The war, fought between October 6 and October 26, 1973, was named 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 and on this day.  Jews apologize to each other, resolve grievances.

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