As clashes between the Israeli army and Hamas continued to escalate in various parts of Gaza, the US had stepped up pressure on Israel to soften the blow. The US has proposed to reduce the widespread ground attack and bombing and change the war strategy in the context of the massacre in Gaza which has raised strong protests at the international level. Netanyahu said that the war will continue until total victory is achieved. It is noteworthy that Modi spoke to Netanyahu during this time.
In October, Hamas attacked Israeli towns, killing 1,200 people and kidnapping 240. In the war that followed, Israel was criticized globally for the death toll following the bombing of Gaza. About 20,000 people died, according to Gaza’s health department. Most of them died in bombings. There are indications that thousands of bodies are trapped under the debris.
