Gaza Comes Under Sustained Bombardment By Israel After Hamas Attacks

GAZA CITY, GAZA - OCTOBER 12: Displaced Palestinian citizens gather at the UNRWA (The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees) Beach School, after evacuating their homes damaged by Israeli air strikes, on October 12, 2023 in Gaza City, Gaza. At least 1,200 people, including at least 326 children, have been killed and more than 300,000 displaced, after Israel launched sustained retaliatory air strikes after a large-scale attack by Hamas. On October 7, the Palestinian militant group Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel from Gaza by land, sea, and air, killing 1000 people and wounding more than 2000. Israeli soldiers and civilians have also been taken hostage by Hamas and moved into Gaza. The attack prompted a declaration of war by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
