Israel Strikes Gaza
For your information, the Israeli army on Friday (27/10) expanded its air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip, which has experienced non-stop air attacks since a surprise attack by Hamas on October 7.
International aid agencies said they lost contact with staff in Gaza after Israel shut down internet and communications.
The conflict escalated dramatically after unprecedented attacks involving rockets and sending hundreds of fighters into Israeli cities.
At least more than 8,000 Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks. About 70% of Palestinian deaths are women and children, according to official figures. Meanwhile the death toll in Israel reached more than 1,400 people.
