On the seventh day of the intensifying Israel-Hamas war, Israel's military
issued an evacuation notice for 1.1 million residents of Gaza City, warning of
an imminent ground offensive against Hamas
militants. Despite the UN's declaration that mass relocation would lead to
catastrophic humanitarian consequences, Israeli airstrikes continued to pound
Gaza, resulting in a deepening humanitarian crisis.
As the death toll surpassed 1,300 on both sides, international responses
varied, with US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin visiting Israel to show
solidarity and various countries arranging charter flights for their citizens to
leave.
The conflict sparked global protests, with Hamas urging Palestinians to
demonstrate against the bombardment while Jewish communities in France planned
rallies in solidarity with Israel, amplifying the divisive nature of the
conflict across the world. |
