Gaza's Humanitarian Crisis Deepens Amid Intensifying Israel-Hamas Conflict

The Israel-Hamas war continues to escalate, with an Israeli soldier killed in combat and the recovery of a hostage's body in Gaza. The Biden administration is pressuring Israel to reduce civilian casualties and transition to a lower-intensity phase of the conflict. Hamas tunnels in Gaza were built to withstand flooding, according to a spokesperson. Meanwhile, four alleged Hamas members suspected of plotting terror attacks in Europe have been arrested by German and Dutch authorities. The US national security adviser has been briefed on Israel's military campaign, and the US says the days of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar are numbered. President Biden wants Israel to focus on saving civilian lives in Gaza.
