PALESTINIAN civilians were caught in the crossfire today as invading Israeli soldiers marched on two of Gaza’s largest cities. 

Israel has pledged to keep fighting until it removes Hamas from power, dismantles the group’s military capabilities and returns all the hostages taken by militants during Hamas’s surprise October 7 attack into Israel.

Israel’s current war on Gaza has killed thousands of Palestinian civilians and driven nearly 85 per cent of the territory’s 2.3 million people from their homes.
