Now 100 days old, the latest Israel-Hamas war is by far the longest, bloodiest, and most destructive conflict between the bitter enemies.
The fighting erupted on October 7th when Hamas carried out a deadly attack in southern Israel.
Since then, Israel has relentlessly pounded the Gaza Strip with air strikes and a ground offensive that have wrought unprecedented destruction, flattening entire neighbourhoods.
The offensive has displaced the vast majority of Palestinians in Gaza, cancelled operations in more than half of Gaza’s hospitals, and caused widespread hunger, UN monitors say.
The Israeli military says it has now scaled back operations in the hard-hit north. But in the south, where it says Hamas’s leaders are hiding, it is pressing forward at full strength.
Meanwhile, Lebanon’s Hizbullah militia and Israel have engaged in cross-border skirmishes nearly every day since the war began.
