The war in Palestine’s Gaza, which is under Israeli bombing and blockade since October 7, started when Hamas started Operation Al Aqsa Flood, a multi-pronged surprise attack in Israel. Hamas said that the attack was in retaliation for the raiding of the Al Aqsa Mosque and rising violence by Israeli settlers.
The Israeli blockade has left more than 2.3 million people of Gaza with no food, fuel, water, and medicine.
Earlier, the health ministry in the Gaza Strip confirmed that over 500 innocent Palestinian civilians, including women and children, were martyred in a brutal Israeli airstrike on al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City.
