Israel pounds Gaza by air, killing dozens

Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip have killed dozens of people, including children, and injured hundreds more in recent days. The strikes are in response to rocket attacks from the Palestinian militant group Hamas.

The violence has escalated in recent weeks, with both sides trading fire. The Israeli military says it is targeting Hamas militants and infrastructure, but many civilians have been killed in the airstrikes.

The United Nations has called for a ceasefire, but both sides have so far refused to comply. The UN Security Council has held several emergency meetings on the conflict, but has failed to agree on a resolution.

The United States has expressed support for Israel’s right to self-defense, but has also urged Israel to avoid civilian casualties. The Biden administration has also been working with Egypt and other regional countries to try to broker a ceasefire.

The Gaza-Israel conflict is a complex and long-standing one. The two sides have been fighting for decades over the issue of Palestinian statehood. Israel has occupied the Gaza Strip since 1967, and the Palestinians have been seeking to establish an independent state in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.

The current conflict is the worst between Israel and Hamas since 2014. The conflict has caused widespread destruction in the Gaza Strip, and has displaced hundreds of thousands of people.

The international community is calling for an immediate ceasefire to end the bloodshed. The United Nations has warned that the conflict could have a devastating impact on the people of Gaza, who are already living in dire conditions.
