Israel-Palestine Conflict: Strikes in the Gaza Camp Kill Over 30, and Hamas’s Network of Tunnels Presents a Challenge

Over 9,480 Gazans, mostly women and children, have died as a result of Israeli bombardment, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, which is managed by Hamas. The conflict between Israel and Palestine is still ongoing.

In addition, Hamas claimed that an Israeli attack on a United Nations school resulted in the deaths of at least 12 individuals. Over thirty individuals were killed by an Israeli assault on a refugee camp in central Gaza on Saturday.

KEY POINTS ARE AS follows:
According to a Reuters article, which cited unnamed individuals close to the organization’s leadership, Hamas, the group that controls Gaza, has gathered weaponry, missiles, food, and medical supplies in anticipation of trapping Israel in a protracted conflict.
According to individuals who spoke to Reuters, the Palestinian militant organization is certain that its militants can fend for themselves for months in a network of tunnels built out far under the Palestinian enclave and elude Israeli soldiers using urban guerrilla tactics.
Additionally, the organization informed Israel and the US during the hostage talks mediated by Qatar that it intended to advocate for the release of thousands of Palestinian inmates in return for Israeli captives.
IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, meantime, visited Gaza on Sunday to conduct an evaluation with top commanders.
In a statement released late on Saturday, Hamas warned that unless Israeli troops let wounded Palestinians to leave the Gaza Strip and go to Egypt for medical attention, the current evacuation of foreigners from Gaza would be delayed.
While on a diplomatic visit in the Middle East, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken emphasized that the US is in favor of “humanitarian pauses” in the fighting and bombing in Gaza in order to stop the deaths of civilians.
During a news conference in Jordan, Mr. Blinken said, “The United States believes that humanitarian pauses will facilitate all of these efforts.”
Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, has, however, ruled out the possibility of a truce in the current conflict.
However, S. Jaishankar, the minister of external affairs, called the state of conflict between Israel and Palestine “very complex” on Saturday.
He said that New Delhi is clear in its perspective of terrorism and vehemently defended India’s decision to abstain from voting on a UN resolution that demanded an urgent humanitarian ceasefire between the two parties.
“To sum up, it’s a highly complicated scenario with a lot of unclear possibilities—possibilities that don’t look good,” he said.
