In the bloodiest Israeli-Palestinian conflict escalation in decades, the Hamas organization launched a huge rocket bombardment and a ground, air, and sea attack, causing Israel to retaliate with heavy airstrikes, resulting in the deaths of over 200 Israelis and 232 Palestinians. The world community is intently monitoring the conflict’s progress as it doesn’t appear to be ending anytime soon.
To save more deaths and devastation, world leaders and groups have urged for an urgent ceasefire in response to the region’s rising violence.
