Since October 7, the Israeli military has escalated its operations against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, with shelling and airstrikes leading to the deaths of 21,507 Palestinians and wounding 55,915, as reported by the Gaza Health Ministry. The offensive has resulted in the displacement of 85% of Gaza's population, with a quarter facing starvation due to the Israeli siege. The conflict has also intensified along Israel's northern border with Lebanon, where Hezbollah has fired more rockets and drones at Israel than on any previous day, which Israel’s army says it has shot down. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have expanded operations in the central and southern Gaza Strip, particularly around the Khan Younis area, and have announced the death of an IDF soldier. Amidst the violence, Hamas officials have traveled to Cairo to discuss a ceasefire proposed by Egypt. The international community continues to express concern as the death toll in Gaza has risen to 21,320 and the Israeli-Hamas war shows no signs of abating.
