A brutal new phase of the Israel-Palestine war began on October 7 when Hamas launched a heavy incursion into southern Israel, killing 1,300 people and taking nearly 200 hostages. Israel's retaliatory bombardment of Gaza since then, from air, sea, and land resulted in a death toll that has already surpassed the 6000 mark, with over 10,000 injured and a million displaced. While the health facilities in Gaza are on the brink of collapse, an evacuation order by Israel creates further chaos since Gazans are already deprived of food, water, and electricity. World leaders call on Egypt and Israel to allow in much-needed humanitarian aid, but Egypt blames Israel for air strikes that left the Rafah crossing inoperable. Meanwhile, tensions on Israel's northern border raise fears of a second front, this time against Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed group that operates out of southern Lebanon.
