Israel-Hamas War from Land and Air; '436 Palestinians' Killed in 24 Hours

On Monday, November 1, Israel bombarded Gaza once again. Simultaneously, Israeli soldiers fought with Hamas militants on the ground. The Gaza Health Ministry announced that in the past 24 hours, 436 people were killed in Israeli airstrikes, most of whom were in the densely populated southern Gaza Strip. The United Nations stated that civilians have no food, water, or shelter against the relentless Israeli airstrikes that have flattened parts of Hamas-controlled areas. According to Reuters, the aid sent from the Rafah border crossing to Gaza is minimal compared to the needs of the residents. The Gaza Health Ministry reported on Monday that since the war began on October 6, at least 5,087 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks, of which 2,055 were children. The recent conflict between Hamas and Israel began on October 6 with an attack on Israel by Hamas militants, resulting in the deaths of 1,400 Israelis and over 200 being taken hostage by Hamas. Israel confirmed nighttime attacks on the Gaza Strip, stating that ground forces conducted limited attacks to counter Palestinian militants, and airstrikes focused on locations where Hamas was preparing for ambushes and a broader attack on Israel. According to a senior Israeli army spokesperson, 'During the night, attacks were carried out by tanks and infantry. These attacks aimed to dismantle terrorist squads preparing for the next stage of the war.' He stated that these attacks also aimed to gather information about the 222 individuals held captive by Hamas. The Gaza Interior Ministry, controlled by Hamas, reported that at least 18 Palestinians were killed and dozens injured in Israeli airstrikes on residential homes in neighborhoods in Rafah near the southern Gaza border with Egypt. The Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, stated that its fighters engaged with an Israeli force that had infiltrated Gaza and destroyed several Israeli military equipment. The group claimed that Israeli armored forces had infiltrated east of Khan Younis in southern Gaza. The most powerful army in the Middle East is now engaged in a war with a group that has built a large arsenal with the help of the Islamic Republic and is fighting in a crowded urban environment using a vast underground tunnel network. Hezbollah announced on Monday that one of its fighters had been killed. The Israeli army reported that since the recent fighting began, seven soldiers have been killed at the Lebanon border. Iranian security officials told Reuters that Iran's strategy is for Middle Eastern proxy forces like Hezbollah to carry out limited attacks on Israeli and U.S. targets while preventing escalation of tensions in Tehran. The Palestinian Authority's Health Ministry announced that on Monday, two Palestinians were killed in a refugee camp near Ramallah in the West Bank. Camp residents told Reuters that Israeli forces raided the camp and clashed with armed men and youths throwing stones.
