The IDF says it has targeted Hamas and Islamic Jihad militants, but thousands of civilians, including children, have been killed
Israel’s military has bombed Gaza for more than two weeks in an unprecedentedly fierce and relentless assault – retaliation for Hamas’s murderous onslaught on 7 October.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) says it has targeted Hamas and Islamic Jihad militants, but thousands of civilians, including children, have been killed in strikes that have flattened residential districts. According to health officials in Hamas-run Gaza, more than 4,600 people have been killed, making the conflict the most fatal of the five wars Israel has fought against militants there since 2007.
Information coming out of Gaza – which is under siege – is hard to verify, but below are some of the names and stories of people reported to have been killed.
