Israeli-Palestinian conflicts 

 

The latest war in Israel has been making headlines recently. According to CBS News, at least 40 people have been killed and hundreds wounded in a Hamas military incursion on Saturday morning. 

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared Israel was at war on Saturday after at least 40 people were killed in a pre-dawn surprise attack in the Gaza Strip, carried out by the Palestinian militant group Hamas . 

In a major escalation of a decades-long conflict, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the country is at war on Saturday, following an attack from Palestinian militants within the occupied Gaza Strip that killed at least 40 people and injured another 780 in one of Hamas’ biggest attacks in recent years.

The attack has been described as unprecedented and has sent shockwaves throughout the region. The situation is still developing, and there are fears that it could escalate into a full-scale war . The UN has expressed concern over the situation, with more than 1,000 rockets being fired from Gaza into Israel.

This is a developing story.

The conflict between Israel and Palestine has been ongoing for decades. The latest escalation began when Israeli police raided the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem, one of Islam's holiest sites, during Ramadan. This led to protests and clashes between Palestinians and Israeli police, which then escalated into rocket attacks by Hamas . The situation has since escalated into a full-blown conflict, with both sides exchanging fire.

The conflict has drawn international attention, with many countries calling for an end to the violence. The United States has called for a ceasefire, but so far, both sides have refused to back down . The situation is complex and deeply rooted in history and politics. It is important to understand the context of the conflict to fully comprehend the current situation.
