Israel has escalated its attacks on Gaza, leading to the deaths of 40 people and injuring many others, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health. The Red Crescent officials stated that communication links were completely broken, making it difficult to transport the injured to hospitals. Additionally, Israeli forces claimed to have discovered a 4-kilometer-long vehicle-passable tunnel near the Gaza border checkpoint, which is the largest tunnel ever discovered in Gaza.
In response to the attacks, Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani and Mossad chief David Barnea held talks in Oslo, Norway to negotiate for the release of Hamas hostages. However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that severe attacks are the only way to free the hostages and vowed not to withdraw without destroying Hamas.
The war has also led to the deaths of 2 more Israeli soldiers, bringing the total number of soldiers killed in the current military operation to 121. The Israeli army is facing challenges in Gaza as Hamas continues to carry out guerrilla warfare with sophisticated weapons in a network of tunnels. Additionally, the communication system in all of Gaza has been completely shut down for the past 4 days.
The increased violence comes as Qatar is making new peace efforts for the release of Hamas hostages, highlighting the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas in the region.
