STORYLINE:
An explosion could be seen within the Gaza Strip on Wednesday as Israel’s offensive inside the territory continued.
Israel has continued to pound the region with the aim of eliminating Hamas’ leadership during the 19-month war.
A recent strike killed Mohammed Sinwar, believed to be the head of Hamas’ armed wing.
Palestinians living in the region are on the brink of famine.
The war in Gaza began when Hamas-led militants stormed into southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, killing some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducting 251.
Hamas still holds 58 hostages, around a third of them believed to be alive. Most of the rest were released in ceasefire deals or other agreements. Israeli forces have rescued eight and recovered dozens of bodies.
Israel’s retaliatory campaign has killed over 54,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. The ministry says women and children make up most of the dead, but it does not distinguish between civilians and combatants in its tally.
