The Gaza Strip has seen a dramatic escalation of violence as Israel has launched airstrikes across the region. According to health officials, hundreds of Palestinians have been killed in the past day and medical facilities have been shut down due to bomb damage and lack of power.
The Israeli military has stated that its jets have struck Syrian army infrastructure and mortar launchers in response to rocket launches from Syria towards Israel. This attack has reportedly killed eight soldiers and wounded seven more.
In addition, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have announced that Taysir Mubasher, the former commander of the naval force of Hamas, has been killed in an airstrike. This comes as the IDF is preparing for a ground offensive aimed at crushing Hamas militants.
The situation in Gaza has become increasingly dire, with the 2.3 million people running out of food, water and medicine since Israel sealed off the territory following the attack by Hamas on towns in southern Israel.
The international community has called for an end to the violence and for both sides to come to the negotiating table. However, with the current escalation, it is unclear when the conflict will end and how many more lives will be lost in the process.
