The ongoing conflict between ISRAEL and HAMAS has seen a rise in casualties, as both sides continue to engage in violence. The recent strike on a school in Gaza City further highlights the challenges of distinguishing between military targets and civilian areas in densely populated regions like Gaza. The international community, led by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, is striving to broker a cease-fire agreement to end the hostilities and secure the release of hostages held in Gaza. Both ISRAEL and HAMAS are under pressure to agree to the proposed deal, with accusations of stalling and misleading statements adding to the complexity of the situation. The conflict underscores the need for a swift resolution to prevent further loss of life and pave the way for lasting peace in the region.
