Thousands of rockets were fired into Israeli territory, and more than 1,200 were reportedly killed, many of them civilians. More than 250 people were killed in a Hamas attack at the Supernova music festival near the Gaza border, and around 200 Israeli hostages reportedly were taken back to Gaza, including women, children, and elderly people.\nIn response, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered air attacks and a “complete siege” of Gaza, stating “our enemy will pay a price the type of which it has never known.” The subsequent Israeli airstrikes have killed thousands of Palestinians, including many civilians, and that figure will likely grow. \nThe siege has also fast devolved into a humanitarian crisis on the ground in Gaza, with the Israeli government shutting off Gaza’s access to water, electricity, and fuel. Gaza has been under blockade by both Israel and Egypt since 2007, and borders are closed, meaning civilians can’t leave and humanitarian aid isn’t able to get in.\nMore than 2 million Gazans live in a strip of land the size of Philadelphia, making it one of the most densely populated places on the planet. And about 42.5 percent of the population is under the age of 14, making childhood casualties common in times of conflict.\nAs Vox’s Zack Beauchamp explains, nothing like this attack has happened in the modern history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; even the bloody Second Intifada in the early 2000s never saw this kind of mass incursion into Israeli territory. Now an outright war between Israel and Hamas has begun, one whose consequences for the conflict and the broader Middle East we can only dimly anticipate.\nThis is a developing story. Follow along for the latest news and updates.","coverageStartTime":"2023-10-07T21:35:51+00:00","liveBlogUpdate":[{"@type":"BlogPosting","headline":"Is Israel committing genocide?

It should be unthinkable that Israel, home to the descendants of many Holocaust survivors, would perpetrate such a crime, and yet it has been accused — by human rights groups, academics, and even South Africa — of committing genocide in Gaza. \nThose accusations aren’t new. They became more widespread shortly after Israel responded to the October 7, 2023, attack by Gaza-based militant and political group Hamas with a bombing and ground campaign that left more than 5,000 dead in the first weeks of fighting. But in the year since the war in Gaza began, the question is whether the evidence supporting these claims has grown."},{"@type":"BlogPosting","headline":"Vox podcasts tackle the Israel-Hamas war","description":"Looking to understand the Israel-Hamas war?

A plan to degrade the ability of the Supreme Court to push back on laws passed by the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, sparked massive national protests out of concern that Netanyahu’s right-wing coalition would pass increasingly hardline laws with no mechanism for opposition. Now, his government is being held at least partly responsible for the massive security failure that enabled the attacks."},{"@type":"BlogPosting","headline":"What Israel should do now","description":"Israel’s current approach is clearly wrong.

Thousands of rockets were fired into Israeli territory, and more than 1,200 were reportedly killed, many of them civilians. More than 250 people were killed in a Hamas attack at the Supernova music festival near the Gaza border, and around 200 Israeli hostages reportedly were taken back to Gaza, including women, children, and elderly people.\nIn response, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered air attacks and a “complete siege” of Gaza, stating “our enemy will pay a price the type of which it has never known.” The subsequent Israeli airstrikes have killed thousands of Palestinians, including many civilians, and that figure will likely grow. \nThe siege has also fast devolved into a humanitarian crisis on the ground in Gaza, with the Israeli government shutting off Gaza’s access to water, electricity, and fuel. Gaza has been under blockade by both Israel and Egypt since 2007, and borders are closed, meaning civilians can’t leave and humanitarian aid isn’t able to get in.\nMore than 2 million Gazans live in a strip of land the size of Philadelphia, making it one of the most densely populated places on the planet. And about 42.5 percent of the population is under the age of 14, making childhood casualties common in times of conflict.\nAs Vox’s Zack Beauchamp explains, nothing like this attack has happened in the modern history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; even the bloody Second Intifada in the early 2000s never saw this kind of mass incursion into Israeli territory. Now an outright war between Israel and Hamas has begun, one whose consequences for the conflict and the broader Middle East we can only dimly anticipate.\nThis is a developing story.

They became more widespread shortly after Israel responded to the October 7, 2023, attack by Gaza-based militant and political group Hamas with a bombing and ground campaign that left <a href="https://news.un.org/en/story/2023/10/1142687">more than 5,000</a> dead in the first weeks of fighting. But in the year since the war in Gaza began, the question is whether the evidence supporting these claims has grown.</p><a class="_1224xo16" href="/politics/378913/israel-gaza-genocide-icj">Read

assault on <a href="/2018/11/20/18080046/gaza-palestine-israel">Gaza</a>, the United Nations’s humanitarian office has altered how it reports fatalities in the conflict — sparking another round of debate over the toll of Israel’s war in the <a href="/palestine">Palestinian</a> territory in response to the October 7 attacks by <a href="/politics/2023/10/10/23911661/hamas-israel-war-gaza-palestine-explainer">Hamas</a>. </p><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1agbrixi lg8ac53 lg8ac50 xkp0cg1 _1224xo15">The overall reported death count likely remains very similar to what was previously known: around 35,000 people have been killed. But not all of those people’s identities have been confirmed — and among those that have, there has been a marked decrease in the number of women and children killed in the conflict and an increase in men as a proportion of those killed compared to previous estimated totals. Thousands more remain unidentified, meaning the numbers will change again as health authorities gather that information. </p><a class="_1224xo16"

But on campus, they may be “the largest student movement so far” of the 21st century, said <a href="https://steinhardt.nyu.edu/people/robert-cohen">Robert Cohen</a>, a professor of social studies and history at New York University who has studied student activism. In recent decades, there were mass protests against the Iraq War, as part of the Occupy Wall Street movement, and after the killing of George Floyd, but they were primarily happening off campus.

Thousands of rockets were fired into Israeli territory, and more than 1,200 were reportedly killed, many of them civilians. More than 250 people were killed in a Hamas attack at the Supernova music festival near the Gaza border, and around 200 Israeli hostages reportedly were taken back to Gaza, including women, children, and elderly people.\nIn response, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered air attacks and a \u0026ldquo;complete siege\u0026rdquo; of Gaza, stating \u0026ldquo;our enemy will pay a price the type of which it has never known.\u0026rdquo; The subsequent Israeli airstrikes have killed thousands of Palestinians, including many civilians, and that figure will likely grow.\u0026nbsp;\nThe siege has also fast devolved into a humanitarian crisis on the ground in Gaza, with the Israeli government shutting off Gaza\u0026rsquo;s access to water, electricity, and fuel. Gaza has been under blockade by both Israel and Egypt since 2007, and borders are closed, meaning civilians can\u0026rsquo;t leave and humanitarian aid isn\u0026rsquo;t able to get in.\nMore than 2 million Gazans live in a strip of land the size of Philadelphia, making it one of the most densely populated places on the planet. And about 42.5 percent of the population is under the age of 14, making childhood casualties common in times of conflict.\nAs Vox\u0026rsquo;s Zack Beauchamp explains, nothing like this attack has happened in the modern history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; even the bloody Second Intifada in the early 2000s never saw this kind of mass incursion into Israeli territory. Now an outright war between Israel and Hamas has begun, one whose consequences for the conflict and the broader Middle East we can only dimly anticipate.\nThis is a developing story.
