Israel-Palestine War
Israeli forces stepped up airstrikes in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip and southern Lebanon while widening attacks to include targets in Syria and the occupied West Bank.
The ongoing war has proven to be the deadliest of the five conflicts in Gaza Strip for both sides.
The death toll in Gaza Strip has reached a staggering 4,741 people, with close to 16,000 individuals sustaining injuries in the besieged area, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.
