An Israeli flag flies in southern Israel as a fireball erupts across the border in the Gaza Strip.
  • Hamas officials say they do not regret the October 7 attack on Israel and would do it again.
  • The Israeli response has killed thousands of Palestinians, but Hamas says the price is worth it.
  • The goal was to "overthrow" the status quo, not "improve the situation in Gaza," one official said.

More than 10,000 Palestinians have been killed in the month since Hamas led a terror attack inside southern Israel, according to the group's health ministry in Gaza.
