On October 7, 2023, Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel involving rockets, militants crossing from Gaza, and hostage-taking. The cartoon depicts an Israeli official at a podium bearing the national flag reacting with alarm to a query about a one-way ticket. A bird carrying a suitcase responds by rejecting Israel as a destination. An inset shows explosions at what appears to be an airport. The image reflects the immediate shock and desire for departure following the assault that began on the holiday of Yom Kippur.
