Key Findings

• Israel’s military is amassing its forces on multiple fronts in preparation for likely ground operations in Gaza. Missile strikes in Gaza continue, with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) also confirming its artillery struck Syrian targets over the weekend.
• Protests continued worldwide over the weekend of October 14-15, with citizens expressing their respective voices on the ongoing Israel-Hamas war; although some protests resulted in clashes with police, violence remained isolated and contained overall.
• Hackers continue to conduct cyberattacks in support of the side of the conflict with which they are aligned. Side-agnostic threat actors are very likely capitalizing on interest in the conflict—including from breach package buyers—to conduct intrusions for financial gain.
