The term "assault" in this context refers to a variety of aggressive actions, ranging from cyber attacks to physical violence. One significant event occurred on October 7, 2023, when Hamas launched a coordinated cross-border assault on Israel, marking the official start of the Israel-Hamas War. This attack included land, air, and sea operations, resulting in approximately 1,200 Israeli deaths and the capture of over 240 hostages. The preparation of these assault teams in Gaza was largely overlooked or dismissed, leading to an unexpected and devastating attack. Detailed plans of the attack were revealed through interrogations, with some complications arising from non-Hamas Palestinians who joined the raid. In the realm of cyber security, the Cyber Assault Sequence Framework is a comprehensive system designed to understand and address cyber threats. In August 2023, Estonian media portals were targeted, followed by a ransomware attack on the city's IT systems on May 5. The organization responsible for electricity distribution confirmed another ransomware assault on August 3, 2023. These incidents illustrate the increasing prevalence of supply chain threats, where attacks are disguised as trusted vendor products and code. Sexual assault allegations also fall under the umbrella of "assault." Notable instances include AB 1138, introduced by Assemblymember Dr. Akilah Weber, which focuses on postsecondary education sexual assault prevention and medical examination transportation services. Another case involved Julian Assange, WikiLeaks founder, who faced extradition to Sweden due to allegations of sexual assault. Finally, in 2020, a San Francisco woman sued her husband for "assault and sexual battery," later expanding her allegations to include negligence against Tesla.
