INTERNATIONAL: In a grave turn of events, Israel and Gaza find themselves in the midst of a devastating conflict, with the death toll surpassing 1,100 as war rages on between Israel and Hamas. This article has been rewritten to make it easy for children to understand the situation.

Shocking Assault Sparks War

Israel was taken by surprise as it faced the deadliest attack ever on its land. On Sunday, October 8th, the nation declared war on Hamas, a Palestinian militant group based in Gaza. This sudden conflict has led to a tragic loss of lives, with more than 1,100 people losing their lives.

Prime Minister's Message

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the nation during these difficult times. He told the people to prepare for a "long and tough" war. This announcement came a day after Hamas launched a massive attack. Thousands of rockets were fired at Israel, and fighters from Hamas targeted civilians and took hostages, leaving the nation in shock and grief.

Losses on Both Sides

The conflict has taken a toll on both Israel and Gaza. More than 700 Israelis have lost their lives, marking the country's worst losses since the 1973 Arab-Israeli war. On the other side, Gaza has reported at least 413 deaths in its 2.3 million population, which has been suffering due to blockades and airstrikes.

International Response

US President Joe Biden has pledged additional support for Israel in the face of this unexpected attack. The US is sending more equipment and resources to the Israel Defense Forces. Additionally, the US is deploying an aircraft carrier and warships to the region.

Hamas's Response

Hamas, in Gaza, considers this aid from the US as "aggression" against Palestinians. Other countries, including Brazil, Britain, France, Germany, Ireland, Mexico, Nepal, Thailand, and Ukraine, have also reported the loss or abduction of their citizens in the conflict.

Fighting Continues

Israeli forces have been deployed to confront Hamas fighters in the south of the country. Gun battles are ongoing as the Israeli army seeks to secure areas near Gaza, rescue hostages, and protect its citizens.

This conflict has brought great sadness and uncertainty to the people of Israel and Gaza. The world is watching, hoping for a peaceful resolution and an end to the violence.
