Israel's PM rejects ceasefire calls, continues strikes on civilian infrastructure

The Israel Defense Forces have targeted civilian infrastructure, including refugee camps and ambulances, in their ongoing war against Hamas, resulting in the deaths of over 200 Palestinians. Calls for a ceasefire have grown, with mass protests taking place worldwide. The IDF claims the attacks are necessary to destroy Hamas's tunnel-based infrastructure, while the international community has expressed concern over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The United Nations has condemned both Hamas's attacks and Israeli airstrikes, warning of potential war crimes. Despite calls for a ceasefire, Israeli officials have dismissed prioritizing civilian safety and vowed to continue until Hamas is defeated and hostages are returned.
