Israel's air and ground war has killed thousands of Palestinians, mostly civilians, since the October 7 attack by Hamas and other militants killed 1,200 people and captured around 240. Over 100 of them were released during a weeklong cease-fire last month. With very little aid allowed in, Palestinians face severe shortages of food, water and other basic goods. Israeli forces face heavy resistance, including in northern Gaza, where neighborhoods have been flattened by air strikes and where ground troops have operated for over six weeks.
