Google Casus Belli - An act or an event that either provokes or is used to justify a war. Invading your neighbour and slaughtering around 1,000 people, is an obvious action by one state against another with an intention to provoke a war or an action that occurs during a declared war or armed conflict between military forces of any origin.It's not a war.
A war needs 2 armies
The war began on 7 October 2023, when Hamas and other Palestinian militant groups launched a surprise attack on Israel, in which 1,195 Israelis and foreign nationals, including 815 civilians, were killed. 251 were taken hostage with the stated goal of forcing Israel to release Palestinian prisoners.
Hamas could have surrendered or negotiated a surrender, if they had no chance of winning or achieving their military goals.
