The Israel-Hamas war is not going to stop anytime soon. The conflict has been ongoing since October 2023, causing significant loss of life. Recently, there was a tragic incident in Gaza`s Rafah where many, including children, lost their lives due to Israeli airstrikes. The attack drew widespread condemnation and sparked a social media campaign with hashtags like #alleyesonrafah in support of Palestine. In response, Israel shared videos of Israeli hostages held by Hamas, highlighting the plight of civilians. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly vowed to dismantle Hamas, the militant group governing Gaza. The United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres condemned the violence, emphasizing the need for an immediate halt to the horror. Earlier, the International Court of Justice ordered a ceasefire, siding with accusations of genocide against Israel. Despite traditionally supporting Israel, the United States urged prioritizing civilian safety. However, Netanyahu referred to the recent incident as a tragic mistake and promised an investigation. The conflict has resulted in a significant loss of life, with thousands of Palestinians killed since the beginning of Israel`s offensive. The initial escalation occurred when Hamas attacked Israeli communities, resulting in casualties on both sides.
