As dictator of Nazi Germany, he initiated World War II in Europe with the invasion of Poland in September 1939 and was a central figure of the Holocaust.\u003cbr\u003e      Adolf Hitler applied for entrance into the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, Austria twice and was twice rejected, once in 1907 and again in 1908. For the next five years, Hitler struggled to earn money by selling small paintings, mostly images of buildings and other landmarks in Vienna that he copied from postcards. By 1914, Hitler was serving in World War I and would later enter politics. In his autobiographical manifesto, Mein Kampf, Hitler claimed that his antisemitic views formed during his time as a struggling artist in Vienna. His frustrated art career became part of the myth making—by Hitler himself and by his followers—that helped drive his fateful rise to power in Germany.\u003cbr\u003e      Hitler was drafted for Austrian military service at the beginning of World War I but turned down due to lack of fitness. After moving to Germany, he enlisted as a German soldier in the summer of 1914 and was deployed to Belgium in October. Over the next two years, Hitler served first as an infantryman and then as a private. He won two decorations for bravery, including the Iron Cross First Class and was wounded twice.

On October 7, 2023, Hamas militants launched a surprise attack on southern Israel from the Gaza Strip. The attacks began early on Saturday with a barrage of at least 3,000 rockets launched against Israel. Hamas fighters breached the Gaza–Israel barrier, attacking military bases and massacring civilians in Israeli communities, including in Be'eri, Kfar Aza, and Nir Oz, and at the Nova music festival. The attackers killed 1,139 people: 695 Israeli civilians, 71 foreign nationals, and 373 members of the security forces. About 250 Israeli civilians and soldiers were taken as hostages to the Gaza Strip, including 30 children, with the stated goal to force Israel to release Palestinian prisoners. There are numerous reports of rape and sexual assault by Hamas fighters. After clearing Hamas militants from its territory, the Israeli military responded with extensive aerial bombardment of the Gaza Strip followed by a large-scale ground invasion beginning on 27 October. Since the start of the Israeli operation, an estimated 32,000 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed. Several thousand more are missing and presumed trapped under rubble. Israel's blockade, which cut off food, clean water, medicine, fuel, electricity and communications, has led to a humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip and the collapse of healthcare. More than 100 Israeli hostages remain in captivity. Clashes have also occurred in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and with Hezbollah along the Israel–Lebanon border.
