Hamas-Israel War: A Brief Analysis of First Two Phases of WarAt the end of 2023, the Middle East experienced some new challenges. Among these new challenges, one of the most important of them all is the Hamas-Israel war. After almost four months of war and no end in sight, there are now growing questions about whether Israel will be able to accomplish its stated goals in Gaza. The brutality of the Hamas’s attack on October 7, the extent of the cruel massacre, shocked both the Israeli society and foreign public opinion. To better understand the factors of Hamas's operational success, the strategic surprise attack on Israel from Gaza, on October 7, 2023, needs a thorough analysis to understand all its political, intelligence, and operational failures aspects. It goes without saying that many elements of Hamas's brutal but largely successful attack are still unknown. Taking this into account, this paper focuses on only three elements of the ongoing war. Firstly, based on the qualitative methodology of research, this study evaluates and highlights the political background of the bloodiest attack in modern Israel's history which happened on October 7, 2023. Secondly, using the research methodology of data collection and analysis, this paper seeks to answer the still open-ended question, how was Hamas able to attack a country which operates one of the best intelligence organizations in the world by an extreme surprise? Finally, by using the narrative and historical models of qualitative research and the available data, this paper focuses on assessing the first and second phases of the war. Furthermore, the study formulates conclusions regarding the expected directions of change in the Israeli security system and some aspects of regional security implications of the ongoing Hamas-Israeli conflict. The potential result of the current paper is to present the reasons for the ongoing Gaza conflict based on the historical background. In addition, it provides a primary analysis, based on currently available information, of the first two phases of the obviously protracted Hamas-Israel conflict for the benefit of the community of researchers, scholars, and academics.

The main purpose of the study is to explore the determinants of stock price in NEPSE, with special focus to private commercial banks. To meet the desired objectives, different statistical and financial tools has been used. Arithmetic mean, correlation and regression analysis, t-test is the major statistical tools that have been used for the study. In order to conduct this study, descriptive research design has been adopted. For the purpose of analysis of the data, the data collected from the survey were coded for statistical analysis. SPSS tool was used to organize the data, determine significant relationships and identify difference or similarities with & between different variables under study.The findings from Z test show that there is statistically significant relationship between the variables or not. Even though DPS, BVPS and EPS affect the MPS positively, there is several other factors i.e. internal as well as external environment that affects the market price of stock. Theoretically, when earnings, dividends and book value per share increases, the market price per share also increases and vice versa. But in the case of NEPSE, this theory does not seem to be true hundred percent. Meaning that there are various other factors too that affects the share price. Key Words: Book value per share, Dividend per share, Earning per share, Market price per Share, Stock price 1. Introduction Investment in equity shares is one of the major avenues of investment that yields considerable returns to investors. It is also a source of finance for the capital requirements of firms. Returns from such equity investments are subject to vary owing to the movement of share prices, which depend on various factors. Such factors that influence share prices could be either firm specific internal factors such as earnings, dividend, book value, etc. or external factors such as interest rate, government regulations, foreign exchange rate, etc Having knowledge of such factors and their possible impact on share prices is highly appreciable on the part of both firms and investors. Since share prices convey information to the outside world about the current and future performance of firms, it is imperative for the managers of the firms to pay due attention to the factors that influence share prices. This would help them to enhance their firm value in the market. Consideration of such factors by investors is also warranted while investing their funds, since this would aid them in making wise investment decisions and invest in stocks that yield good profits. A number of factors have been identified as share price determinants by the extant studies conducted on different markets. The pioneering work on determinants of share prices by Collins (1957) for US banks identified dividend, net profit, operating earnings and book value as the factors influencing share prices. Following Collins (1957), there have been various attempts to identify the determinants of share prices for different markets. Karathanassis & Philippas (1988) for banks listed on Athens stock exchange found dividends, retained earnings and size to exert a significant positive influence on share prices. Midani (1991) studied the factors that influence share prices in the Kuwait stock market. The study pointed out earnings and
