The ceasefire has stopped two years of devastating warfare in Gaza triggered by the Oct. 7, 2023, attack, in which Hamas-led gunmen killed around 1,200 people and seized 251 hostages, according to Israeli tallies.

Gunmen? Come on, CBC, you can do better. Hamas didn't go into a rave and start shooting. These were rocket attacks.

The rockets were a distraction. They killed 12 people, most of them Bedouins.

The real attacks (including the rave massacre) were done by operatives, boots on the ground, using small arms fire.
