Original Note:
There was no formal ceasefire on October 6th. In 2023, hundreds of Palestinians were killed by Israelis in the West Bank & in Gaza before October 6th. Palestinians have a right to self defense. OP's claim that the war started only because of October 7th is not factual. https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/01/11/israel/palestine-unprecedented-killings-repression#:~:text=In%20the%20West%20Bank%2C%20Israeli,UN%20began%20systematically%20recording%20fatalities. https://reliefweb.int/report/occupied-palestinian-territory/palestinians-west-bank-2023-was-deadliest-year-record https://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/palestinians-west-bank-2023-was-deadliest-year-record
