Gaza Comes Under Sustained Bombardment By Israel After Hamas Attacks

GAZA CITY, GAZA - OCTOBER 13: Palestinians flee on foot and by vehicle, packing what they can to escape as Gaza comes under sustained bombardment by Israel after the Hamas attacks on October 13, 2023 in Gaza City, Gaza. 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. (Footage by Feature Story News/Getty Images)
