Israel has launched a massive bombing campaign against the Gaza Strip in what is undoubtedly the most brutal offensive since the 2014 War.
Hundreds of Palestinians have been martyred and many more wounded, with figures climbing into the thousands of injured. This comes after weeks of protests against Israels plans to evict families in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah, restrictions imposed on Palestinians at Damascus Gate and the storming of Al Aqsa Mosque by Israeli police and their subsequent refusal to withdraw.
