Israel has mobilized 60,000 reservists to launch a major military operation aimed at invading Gaza City, intensifying efforts to dismantle the militant group Hamas after 22 months of conflict.
Amid escalating tensions, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has prioritized military objectives over international calls for a ceasefire, raising concerns about the imminent humanitarian crisis for civilians in Gaza.
Clashes between Israeli troops and Hamas fighters have erupted, as residents express deep fears of mass displacement and worsening living conditions amidst ongoing violence.
The humanitarian situation in Gaza has reached crisis levels, with aid organizations decrying insufficient measures to alleviate severe shortages of food and medical supplies for the population under siege.
The conflict has intensified with the release of distressing videos showing emaciated Israeli hostages held by Hamas, complicating the Israeli government's internal dynamics and its negotiations for a ceasefire.
Regional and international outrage is growing in response to the actions of both Israel and Hamas, further entrenching the complexities of seeking peace in an already volatile landscape.
