DEVELOPING: Israel's Gaza War Escalates Amid Fears of Proportionality Crisis

BREAKING NEWS Israel's Gaza War Escalates Amid Fears of Proportionality Crisis Tens of thousands of people have been killed, and thousands of buildings destroyed in Israel's military operation in Gaza, which began after Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israeli villages, military posts, and a music festival on October 7, 2023. The United Nations has concluded that Hamas committed war crimes and crimes against humanity. The conflict has sparked international concern over the proportionality of Israel's response, with leading human rights organizations accusing Israel of ethnic cleansing and acts of genocide. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denies these allegations, stating that Israel's military operation is a "just war" aimed at destroying Hamas and freeing hostages. The Israeli military operation has severely restricted the supply of food to Gaza, exacerbating an already dire humanitarian situation. The UN has warned of a potential proportionality crisis, with some countries calling for an immediate ceasefire. This is a developing story, with reports emerging that Israel's military is preparing to launch a new phase of its operation in Gaza. The international community is holding its breath as the situation continues to unfold.
