ISREAL GAZA WAR UPDATES

 Israel and Hamas Continue to Exchange Fire in Gaza Strip

The conflict between Israel and Hamas shows no signs of abating, as both sides continue to exchange fire in the Gaza Strip. The latest escalation began when Israel launched a series of attacks against Hamas targets in northern Gaza, claiming that the group was trying to rebuild its terrorist infrastructure in the area.

Hamas, in turn, accused Israel of escalating its aggression against civilians in Gaza and vowed to continue fighting. The United Nations estimates that about 150,000 people have fled from Rafah in recent days, as Israel issued a wider evacuation order leaving many confused about where to go to find safety.

The U.S. has criticized Israel for its failure to protect civilians in the conflict, while the White House has defended its decision to vote 'no' on a UN resolution supporting Palestinian statehood. South Africa has once again asked the UN's top court to act against Israel in Gaza.

The situation in Gaza remains tense, with both sides continuing to trade fire. It is unclear when the violence will end, but there are concerns that the conflict could escalate further and lead to a wider regional crisis. The international community has called for an immediate cessation of hostilities and a return to negotiations to resolve the underlying issues.
