 Israel retaliates after Hamas attacks, deaths pass 1,100

The death toll in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas has passed 1,100, with the majority of casualties being Palestinians. The violence has also displaced tens of thousands of people.

The latest round of violence began on May 10, when Hamas fired rockets at Jerusalem in response to Israeli police raids at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound. Israel responded with airstrikes on Gaza, and the conflict has since escalated.


The international community has called for a ceasefire, but both sides have so far refused to relent. The United States has sent a special envoy to the region to try to broker a truce, but it is unclear whether his efforts will be successful.

The conflict between Israel and Hamas is complex and has a long history. The two sides have fought several wars in recent decades, and there is no easy solution to the conflict. However, it is clear that the ongoing violence is causing immense suffering for the people of Gaza and Israel, and that a ceasefire is urgently needed.
