Israel is carrying out mass demolitions and erecting military fortifications in
residential areas of northern Gaza where tens of thousands of Palestinians have
been forced to flee their homes, according to satellite imagery, verified videos
and interviews.

The Israel Defense Forces said it launched an Oct. 5 air and ground assault in
the northernmost parts of Gaza — Jabalya, Beit Lahia and Beit Hanoun — to oust
Hamas militants who had regrouped there and that the operation would “continue
as long as necessary.”

MIDDLE EAST CONFLICT

The Israel-Gaza war has gone on for over a year, and tensions have spilled into
the surrounding Middle East region.



The war: On Oct. 7, Hamas militants launched an unprecedented cross-border
attack on Israel, killing about 1,200 people and taking civilian hostages. We’re
tracking how many hostages remain in Gaza. Israel declared war on Hamas in
response, launching a ground invasion that fueled the biggest displacement in
the region since Israel’s creation in 1948. In July 2024, Hamas leader Ismail
Haniyeh was killed in an attack Hamas has blamed on Israel.

Cease-fire: Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah agreed to a cease-fire deal in
November 2024, bringing a tenuous halt to more than a year of hostilities.
Here’s what to know about the deal’s terms and how it will be enforced.

Hezbollah: Hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, a militant organization
backed by Iran, have escalated over the past year, leading to an Israeli
invasion of southern Lebanon. Israel’s airstrikes into Lebanon have grown more
intense and deadly, killing over 1,400 people including Hasan Nasrallah,
Hezbollah’s longtime leader. The Israel-Lebanon border has a history of violence
that dates back to Israel’s founding.

Gaza crisis: In the Gaza Strip, Israel has waged one of this century’s most
destructive wars, killing tens of thousands and plunging at least half of the
population into “famine-like conditions.” For months, Israel has resisted
pressure from Western allies to allow more humanitarian aid into the enclave.

U.S. involvement: Despite tensions between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu and some U.S. politicians, including President Biden, the United
States supports Israel with weapons, funds aid packages, and has vetoed or
abstained from the United Nations’ cease-fire resolutions.
