Israeli Offensive in Gaza Kills Dozens, Raises Humanitarian Crisis Fears
TL;DR
The Israeli military has launched air raids on Rafah in southern Gaza, with a ground offensive looming, as more than 1.4 million Palestinians seek shelter in the border city. International concern has focused on Rafah, which also serves as the main entry point for humanitarian aid, and Israel has warned of expanding ground operations if captives held by Hamas are not released. The death toll from the conflict has risen, and the United States is working to broker a truce and exchange captives for Palestinian prisoners.
