Gaza’s Agony: Escalation Marks War’s First Anniversary

 

On the first anniversary of the war, Israel has significantly escalated its air and ground offensive in Gaza. The latest wave of attacks has targeted Hamas militants and command posts, causing widespread destruction and further straining the lives of civilians.
