The Israeli strikes on the Jabalia neighborhood are the latest in a broader, more aggressive war against Hamas.
The ferocity of Israel’s campaign has also put pressure on the U.S., which has supported Israel’s right to defend itself but has increasingly stressed the importance of minimizing civilian casualties and increasing humanitarian aid.
Israel says it has hit more than 11,000 targets, with missiles, bombs and artillery, in Gaza, an area half the size of New York City that is home to around two million people. That compares to some 1,500 strikes the last time Israel fought Gaza militants in 2021.
Human rights groups have warned of a mounting humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says the strikes have killed some 8,796 people, most of them women and children. The figures don’t distinguish between civilians and militants. The strikes have also displaced hundreds of thousands and turned large parts of Gaza into rubble. Israel says the attacks have destroyed crucial military infrastructure and killed key leaders of Hamas, a U.S.-designated terrorist organization.

I hope Isreal ceasefire's as soon as possible because this is not a war, it's a genocide. Thousands of innocent people are dying because of them. The killing of thousands will not accomplish anything other than gaining the blood of many on their hands.
@9GNDXWG6mos6MO
They should stop. They're killing innocent people and children for some people they aren't even 100% sure are even there to begin with. They need to let those people out and stop the fighting. They should be the bigger person and solve this diplomatically, because there's no point in destroying an entire city and making the same mistakes the U.S did.
@UnhappyPiglet6mos6MO
The Wall Street Journal- which is as steadfastly pro-Israel as any media outlet -- says the Israeli bombing of Gaza "rivals any aerial bombardment this century," and has "displaced hundreds of thousands and turned large parts of Gaza into rubble."
@PupCharlotteDemocrat6mos6MO
I suppose it would be too much to ask for Hamas to unconditionally surrender and return all hostages then? Every single death in Gaza, every single building destroyed in Gaza -- can be put squarely at the feet of Hamas and the population that broadly supports its goals.
@RightP4ndaDemocrat6mos6MO
Well put. If Hamas truly cared about the citizens who 'elected' them, they'd stop hiding behind them and face the consequences of their 10/7 atrocities. But they won't. They've had 15 years to build something positive .. and they chose homemade rockets and tunnels.
@PupCharlotteDemocrat6mos6MO
If Israel falls, so too would the western civilization. It’s incumbent upon every person that takes part in this experiment to ask themselves if they’d rather be a part of peace and prosperity for all or would you rather see Middle Ages style governance.
@9GNNYCK6mos6MO
Both sides must not commit war crimes and other atrocities to the other side
@9GNBN736mos6MO
They should hammer out their differences and become more cohesive as to function as one, and not fight over a patch of dirt
@9GN9WTR6mos6MO
Hamas is a terrorist group but Israel seems like terrorists too.
@9GNGT8M6mos6MO
I believe Israel has a right to defend themselves by any means necessary.
@VulcanMan6 6mos6MO
Well you better hope that includes genocide, because that's what they're doing right now...
@9GNJXKCLibertarian6mos6MO
I don't really follow are care about the news anymore.
@9GNQQLY6mos6MO
I think what's happening in Israel is horrible and needs to be discussed.
I hope the situation gets solved without war.
@9GNDR8C6mos6MO
Both Israel and Hamas are committing war crimes. Palestine is innocent.
@9GNMJRF6mos6MO
i personally side with israel since whats been done to their people is atrocious
@VulcanMan6 6mos6MO
Do you know what they've done, and have been doing, to the Palestinian people, or do you only know about the recent Hamas incident?
@9GNRS5LRepublican6mos6MO
Fake news is coming out constantly, on both sides they got wrong and do not know what is happening in the middle east.
@9GNQFFHPeace and Freedom6mos6MO
Horrible and tragic events take place
@9GNHXHW6mos6MO
Israel is only using 2 wrongs to try and make a right which is absolutely incorrect, Gaza has too many civilians and reckless bombing would only replicate the actions of Hamas
@9GNNJ9X 6mos6MO
Isreal should follow UN Rules of War
@9GN7C4R6mos6MO
its bad becasue they didnt do anything and are getting killed
@9GN845X6mos6MO
helps let people understand whats going on
@9GNSQ5M6mos6MO
I believe religion should have never led this world to a war because everyone has their own beliefs. Let the people live it's not their fault, we live in a world where our governments don't care about their citizens.
@9GNCCWV6mos6MO
I believe it is very sad and concerning.
@PoliticalMackerelDemocrat6mos6MO
The only other solution is to do basically nothing and endure more and more rocket strikes for decades to come.
This must be put to an end now. Settle it.
@9GNHM5K6mos6MO
Israel is committing textbook genocide. This was never about fighting terrorists but about finding an excuse to justify their crimes.
@9GNNVTW6mos6MO
I stand with Israel. They gave warning before attacking. Israeli people were given no warning.
@9GNTPJN6mos6MO
Israel has a right to defend itself, but not in the manner they are doing it as it's reckless and puts citizens in danger.
Hamas should be looked at as a terrorist organization and needs to be destroyed.
@9GNBJMX6mos6MO
Hamas began the war, they should be held accountable for it.
@9GN8LMB6mos6MO
que no deberia pelear con agresividad que lo again en paz.
@9GNK2P3 6mos6MO
irial needs to stop atacking hamas and hams needs to stp attacking ireal
@9GNQQWS6mos6MO
I think America should care more about what happens in other countries because it can affect us and also the people residing in the U.S.
@9GNTYHCIndependent6mos6MO
Israel has the right to defend itself. Palestinians elected Hamas and are complicit with their actions. Where is the outrage against Hamas not allowing its citizens the ability to flee the fighting?
@VulcanMan6 6mos6MO
Israel isn't defending itself, they've been attacking Palestine for decades now and they're currently committing a genocide on the Palestinian people. Secondly, there hasn't been an election in Palestine since like 2006; almost half the population wasn't even alive or of voting age when Hamas took power, so to claim that all Palestinians are somehow deserving of their own people's genocide is insane...
@9GNT3XBProgressive6mos6MO
I believe that it is important to understand what is going on in the world, and how we, as humans, can help others to thrive and survive in conflicts like this.
@9GNRYTB6mos6MO
1 side has to win but they both keep messing with each other
@9GNLFWJRepublican6mos6MO
Isreal is not innocent by any means but Hamas must be dealt with
@9GNSDHMRepublican6mos6MO
I just know it's important to be in-tuned with foreign affairs and make the best decisions to keep our treaties
@9GNVD8S6mos6MO
Support humanitarian aid, however if bad people are gonna abuse it then they should be able to strike
@9GNPHHBRepublican6mos6MO
Palestinians were warned so they are in the wrong.
@9GNZRZZ6mos6MO
i dont really care because im in america not irsael or in palstin
@9GNW9CY6mos6MO
isreal is commiting wrong because kiling innocent civilians but also hammas can be misuderstood
