In a press statement today, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed speculations of a potential ceasefire, asserting that the Gaza war is far from over. Netanyahu referred to what he called “false media speculation” surrounding the possibility of his government calling a halt to the ongoing conflict.
The Gaza health ministry reports a devastating toll on Palestinian civilians, with approximately 250 killed, predominantly women and children, and 500 injured in the past 24 hours alone. The situation has been described as a humanitarian crisis, drawing attention to the impact on the civilian population.
Acknowledging the challenges faced by the Israeli army, officials admitted to fighting a “complex and complicated war,” resulting in numerous casualties among their soldiers over the past few days. The conflict has escalated significantly, with both sides grappling with the complexities of the situation.
Since October 7, Israeli attacks have led to a staggering toll, with more than 20,674 people killed and 54,536 wounded. The revised death toll from Hamas’s attacks on Israel now stands at 1,139, underlining the severe consequences of the ongoing conflict. The international community closely monitors the developments, urging for a peaceful resolution to alleviate the suffering of civilians caught in the crossfire.
