Conflict Between Israel and Gaza Intensifies with Mounting Civilian Casualties

Israeli airstrikes and ground operations target Hamas and Islamic Jihad as rocket attacks from Gaza strike Israel, leaving over 500 dead in Gaza, including many children.

Israeli forces have launched extensive airstrikes and ground operations in Gaza, targeting Hamas and Islamic Jihad positions since Tuesday night.
Hamas has responded with rocket attacks on Israel, some intercepted and others landing in uninhabited areas, with air raid sirens heard in Tel Aviv.
Israeli ground forces have taken control of the Netzarim Corridor, dividing Gaza, as part of their military operations.
The death toll in Gaza has reached 504, including over 190 children, according to Gaza's Hamas-controlled health authority.
The ceasefire established in January collapsed earlier this week, with both sides blaming each other for the escalation of violence.
