On April 20, there was a traffic incident. Palestinians’ belongings were rescued from a house hit by an overnight Israel bombing in Rafah in southern Gaza.

The US House of Representatives approved billions of dollars in new military aid to Israel, as said by the Palestinian presidency. In this situation, the president of Palestine is worried about the lives of the Palestinians. 

Reasons Behind the War 

The conflict between Israel and Palestine is about land and self-determination within the territory of the former Mandatory Palestine. The main reason this war is going on is to include the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, the status of Jerusalem, Israeli settlements, borders, security, water rights, the permit regime, Palestinian freedom of movement, and the Palestinian right of return.

In 1967, Israel occupied the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, which are known as Palestinian territories. Which is considered to be the longest military occupation in history, and that has drawn international conflicts for violating the human rights of the Palestinians.

The Israeli government has also experienced political turmoil since 2019. The latest round of peace negotiations was in July 2013, but that was suspended in 2014. Since 2006, Hamas and Israel have fought five wars; the most recent began in 2023 and is now happening in April 2024.

The effect of the war

On October 9, 2023, Israel declared war on Hamas and tightened the overall goods and services of the Gaza Strip. 

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant declared that there would be no electricity, no food, and no fuel, and everything would be closed. The war affected the civilians a lot; they lost their homes, and many of them lost their close ones. They don’t have the proper food to eat.

According to the Gazan Ministry of Health, approximately 70 percent of women and children are killed. Israel’s war has killed over 34,000 Palestinians and wounded over 76,800 more. Israelis are firing so many rockets at once that it is causing huge damage to Palestinians.
