In the early morning of 7 October 2023, armed groups launched a multi-front (land, air, and sea) operation against
Israel. The assault combined gunmen crossing into several Israeli towns targeting various Israeli military installations
and nearby settlements with a heavy barrage of rockets fired from Gaza. Rockets have been fired from Gaza towards I
sraeli villages and cities surrounding and up to 170 km from the border, including the major cities of Jerusalem, Tel A
viv, and Beer-Sheba. On 13 October a rocket was fired to the Galilee (North of Israel). Ongoing rocket launches and fig
hting has taken place since the armed hostilities began.
The deadliest attack in Israel in decades, (source Israeli Defense Forces - IDF spokesperson) more than 1,300 Israeli
and foreign nationals, including women, children, and the elderly, were killed in Israel by members of the armed
groups, including 3 Magen David Adom in Israel (MDA) members . According to the Ministry of Health, at least 3,391
people have been injured.

children and elderly - are believed to have been taken into Gaza (as of 13 October, as per IDF spokesperson, 97
persons are confirmed to be abducted) .
There are also several security incidents registered in the Northern border of Israel (with Lebanon and Syria). There
have been reported attacks against military bases and attempts to cross the border by arms barriers, mortar shelling
and drone attacks.

in place in many other areas within rocket reach. A "state of emergency" in Israel and a "state of war" have officially
been declared by the Israeli government, with limitations on public gatherings in all the territory up to 80 km from
Gaza, and no schools open until 14 October.
The communities around Gaza have been evacuated and the inhabitants of Shderot (the largest town in the area,
have been offered the opportunity to evacuate). Some communities in the north (very close to the border) have
been evacuated as well. Bed-driven patients in the affected communities have been evacuated.

Sri Lanka |
With the intensification of the southwest monsoon, Sri Lanka has experienced heavy rainfall in Western, Sabaragamuwa, and Southern provinces. This unusual expansion of the southwest monsoon in the country began early in October 2023, but severe rainy conditions were encountered in the aforementioned provinces starting on October 6th, 2023, and a red warning was issued to 7 districts on October 7th, 2023. However, the Disaster Management Centre stated on the 9th of October 2023 that a large number of people were displaced owing to floods and landslides in the Gampaha, Matara, and Galle districts. This was the breaking point for SLRCS, which launched a larger response effort and assessed the situation in the three areas mentioned above
The heavy rains, high winds, and floods due to the water levels of the Nilwala Ganga River in Matara, Gin Ganga River in Galle, Kalu, and Attanagalu Ganga Rivers in Gampaha districts have risen to alarming levels and the water overflowing entered the low-lying areas. The coastal districts of Matara and Galle in the Southern province and the Gampaha district in the western province were the worst affected, with most parts flooded for more than a week. the National Building Research Organization (NBRO) issued several 'Red' (Level 3), 'Amber' (Level 2), and 'Yellow' (Level 1) landslide alerts for several areas in the Colombo, Galle, Kalutara, Matara, Rathnapura, Gampaha, Hambantota, Kandy, and Kegalle districts.
On 7th Oct 2023, the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) decided to disconnect the power supply from its grid substation
in Matara as a safety precaution as the water level increased to the top level of the electricity line in some areas in
