LIVE UPDATES: Air Base in Western Iraq Housing US Forces Shelled With Rockets

 

On 7 October, the Palestinian group Hamas launched a large-scale surprise rocket attack on Israel from the Gaza Strip, breaching the border and killing and capturing people in neighboring Israeli communities. In response, Israel launched retaliatory strikes and ordered a complete blockade of the Gaza Strip.
On Saturday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it would intensify attacks on the Gaza Strip in preparation for the next phase - the ground operation in the conflict zone.
On 17 October, a rocket hit the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City, causing a massive explosion that killed nearly 500 people, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. Hamas blamed an Israeli airstrike for the explosion. The IDF, in turn, said the hospital was hit by a failed rocket launch by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement.
The escalation of the conflict has resulted in thousands of deaths and injuries on both sides.
