Israel's Determined Battle Against Hamas in Gaza Intensifies

Israeli tanks are pushing further west in their battle against Hamas in Khan Younis, as the conflict enters its third month with no end in sight. Palestinian activists called for a global strike to pressure Israel into a ceasefire, while the United Nations General Assembly is likely to vote on a draft resolution demanding a ceasefire. The fighting has resulted in a "catastrophic" health situation in Gaza, with hospitals at maximum capacity. The UN Secretary-General appealed for a ceasefire, but the Security Council failed to act. Israel and Hamas exchanged claims and counterclaims, while concerns grow about the war spreading to Lebanon.
