Israel has intensified its bombardment of Gaza as Defense Minister Benny Gantz stated, “Gaza is burning.” The escalation in violence comes after days of tension and clashes, with Palestinian militants firing rockets towards Israeli territory, and Israel responding with airstrikes on Gaza.
The Israeli military has conducted numerous airstrikes targeting Hamas and Islamic Jihad facilities in Gaza, including weapons manufacturing sites and military compounds. The bombardment has resulted in several deaths and many injuries, including women and children. Israel asserts that it is acting in self-defense against the rocket attacks from Gaza.
Palestinian factions in Gaza, on the other hand, argue that they are retaliating against Israeli aggression and the evictions of Palestinian families from East Jerusalem. They claim that their rocket attacks are a response to the ongoing oppression and occupation by Israel.
The international community has expressed concerns over the escalation of violence, with the United Nations calling for an immediate ceasefire and urging both sides to exercise restraint. The situation remains tense, with fears of further casualties and destruction mounting on both sides.
Both Israel and Palestinian factions have shown no sign of backing down, raising worries of a prolonged conflict with devastating consequences for civilians caught in the crossfire.
