Israeli airstrikes in Gaza have resulted in at least 44,056 deaths, as reported by Hamas, with ongoing operations causing significant casualties. The conflict, which reignited on October 7, 2023, also sees Hezbollah engaged in cross-border attacks from Lebanon against Israel. Amidst international efforts for a ceasefire, U.S. envoy Amos Hochstein seeks to mediate tensions. As casualties rise, including recent strikes in Hezbollah strongholds, the violence continues to escalate, prompting concerns over humanitarian conditions.
