Israel has launched heavy airstrikes on Gaza, breaking a two-month ceasefire and risking a return to full-scale warfare with Hamas. The conflict began in October 2023 when Palestinian militants attacked southern Israel, leading to retaliatory airstrikes and a total siege on Gaza. The war has resulted in the deaths of over 48,000 Palestinians and the destruction of hospitals and infrastructure. The timeline of the war includes various incidents and escalations, with the International Court of Justice ordering Israel to prevent genocide and the International Criminal Court issuing arrest warrants for Israeli and Hamas leaders for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity.
