The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas has entered its second month, with Israel's military reportedly engaged in intense fighting within Gaza City.

The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas has entered its second month, with significant developments on both sides. Israel's military is reportedly engaged in intense fighting within Gaza City, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu indicating that Israel plans to maintain control over Gaza indefinitely. The human cost of the war is mounting, with the number of Palestinians killed surpassing 10,300, including over 4,200 children. In the West Bank, more than 160 Palestinians have been killed.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have been focusing on infrastructure, claiming to have destroyed a Hamas tunnel near a United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) sponsored school in northern Gaza. The IDF also claims to have destroyed 130 Hamas tunnel shafts since the start of the war. Amidst the conflict, the United States has communicated with Iran, expressing its intention not to escalate conflict in the Middle East.

The conflict has also seen the death of a Doctors Without Borders team member in a bombing, and the arrest of a prominent Palestinian activist. Despite the ongoing conflict, investors have begun to return to Israel's financial markets, indicating some level of economic resilience.

Efforts towards a ceasefire are underway, with Qatar, Egypt, and the United States brokering negotiations for a three-day humanitarian ceasefire. However, the situation remains dire, with Al-Quds Hospital running out of fuel and shutting down key operations. Overnight Israeli bombardment on Jabalia refugee camp and Sabra in western Gaza has reportedly resulted in dozens of casualties.

The conflict has also sparked international reactions, with the deputy prime minister of Belgium and a Spanish minister calling for sanctions on Israel. A controversial cartoon published by the Washington Post, which was criticized for dehumanizing Palestinians, has been taken down.
