As the humanitarian crisis worsens and a regional spillover seems even more likely, Israel’s unrelenting shelling of the besieged Gaza Strip persists on day 100 of the conflict.
Since the war started on October 7, at least 23,968 people—mostly women and children—have died in Gaza, after an attack by Hamas fighters that claimed 1,139 lives in southern Israel. About 240 others, according to Israel, were also taken prisoner.
Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, declared in a late-night television speech on Saturday that “it is possible and necessary” to “continue [the war] until victory.”
Netanyahu declared, “Nobody will stop us—not The Hague, not the Axis of Evil, and no one else.”
