Israel-Hamas Conflict Escalates: Evacuations and Airstrikes Continue
Hamas alleges that a second Israeli bombing raid in two days has killed and wounded "dozens" at the Jabaliya refugee camp in Gaza, while Israel claims to have targeted a top Hamas commander. Hamas also claims that seven hostages taken from their attacks inside Israel were killed in the first bombing, including three foreign passport holders. The casualty details are yet to be confirmed, and the claims cannot be independently verified. Israel says that 240 hostages were taken during the attacks, which resulted in the deaths of 1,400 people.
