Israel has bombarded Hamas-ruled Gaza in retaliation for raids by the Hamas on October 7, the deadliest attacks in the country’s history.
More than 1,400 people have been killed in Israel and more than 2,700 in Gaza, according to officials on both sides.
Israel has evacuated many of its border communities during the ongoing hostilities, while it has been impossible for Gaza’s 2.4 million residents to leave the Palestinian territory.
