The war began when Hamas-led militants blew holes in the border fence and stormed into southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. They killed some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducted around 250. Some 100 hostages are still inside Gaza, about a third of whom are believed to be dead.

41 people, including 13 children, were killed and others were injured on Sunday in Israeli airstrikes targeting two homes in Gaza City and a residence for displaced people in Jabaliya al-Balad, in northern Gaza.
