"Israel-Gaza Conflict: Attacks, War, and Cyberattacks - A Snapshot of the Ongoing Crisis"

Israel has evacuated civilians from 24 villages near the Gaza border, indicating a possible operation inside Gaza. Hamas launched a large-scale assault on Israel, firing thousands of rockets and infiltrating Israeli towns, resulting in civilian casualties and hostage situations. Israel responded with major airstrikes, leveling buildings in Gaza. The exact locations of rocket strikes are unknown, but reports indicate rockets landed as far north as Tel Aviv. The streets of Gaza City were largely empty as residents prepared for intensified Israeli airstrikes. The Palestinian territory of Gaza has been under an Israeli blockade since 2007.
