Gaza Comes Under Sustained Bombardment By Israel After Hamas Attacks

KHAN YOUNIS, GAZA - OCTOBER 14: Palestinian citizens fill water from water stations in the street as residents of the Gaza Strip suffer from water and electricity outages due to Israeli air raids on the city on October 14, 2023 in Khan Younis, south of Gaza City, Gaza. Many Gazan citizens have fled to the south following warnings from the Israeli government to do so. Israel has sealed off Gaza and launched sustained retaliatory air strikes, which have killed at least 1,400 people with more than 300,000 displaced, after a large-scale attack by Hamas. On October 7, the Palestinian militant group Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel from Gaza by land, sea and air, killing over 1,300 people and wounding around 2,800. Israeli soldiers and civilians have also been taken hostage by Hamas and moved into Gaza. The attack prompted a declaration of war by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the announcement of an emergency wartime government. (Photo by Ahmad Hasaballah/Getty Images)
