Palestinians and Israelis have blamed each other for a blast at the Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City. Hundreds of people were killed, according to Palestinian authorities.

President Biden backed Israel’s claim that a Gaza City explosion that killed hundreds, which Hamas blamed on Israel, had come from a failed rocket launch by an armed Palestinian group.

The fighting between Israel and Hamas has raised fears the violence will spill into Lebanon as a wider conflict with Hezbollah. Given the strength of Hezbollah forces, that would pose a real danger for Israel.

The administration has grown increasingly anxious that Israel’s enemies may seek to widen the war with Hamas and has both sent diplomatic messages and deployed military assets to prevent it.

Nearly one million displaced Gazans are facing shortages of food, clean water and shelter, while Americans remain trapped in the enclave.

As Israel retaliates for the Hamas assault last weekend and plans a potential ground attack, its airstrikes have left Gazans without power, water and medical care.

The Israeli military demanded that Palestinians in northern Gaza move to the south as its troops mass on the border. The U.N. warned that the forced relocation would have “devastating humanitarian consequences.”

Hamas gunmen surged into Israel in a highly organized and meticulously planned operation that suggested a deep understanding of Israel’s military secrets and weaknesses. Here is how the attacks unfolded.
