The war began after Hamas militants stormed Israeli towns and kibbutzes from the Gaza Strip on Oct. 7. In Hamas’ rampage, some 1,400 Israelis, mainly civilians, were killed and 229 were taken hostage.
In response, Israel carried out airstrikes before troops and tanks poured into Gaza in a ground assault.
As of Tuesday, as many as 9,400 people have been killed in the war on both sides, including at least 1,400 Israeli civilians and soldiers and 33 Americans.
