PALESTINIAN-ISRAEL-CONFLICT

Huge plums of smoke rise on the horizon over the city of Khan Yunis as seen from the city of Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip on November 4, 2023, amid the ongoing battles between Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas. Fighting raged in Gaza on November 4, 2023, for a 29th day since Hamas militants stormed across the Israeli border and, according to Israeli officials, killed 1,400 people, mostly civilians, and abducted more than 240 others. Since then, Israel has relentlessly bombarded the Gaza Strip and sent in ground troops, with the health ministry in the Hamas-run Palestinian territory saying 9,488 people have been killed, about two-thirds of them women and children.
