The nation's leaders have weighed in after the conflict escalated again with Israeli strikes on Iran.
have killed at least 22 people, mostly women and children, Palestinian officials say, as the Israeli offensive in the hard-hit and isolated north enters a third week and aid groups describe a humanitarian catastrophe.In a separate development on Sunday, a truck rammed into a bus stop near the Israeli city of Tel Aviv, wounding 35 people, according to first responders.
On Saturday, Israeli warplanes attacked military targets in Iran in response to an Iranian ballistic missile attack earlier this month. "The air force struck throughout Iran. We severely harmed Iran's defense capabilities and its ability to produce missiles that are aimed toward us," Netanyahu said in his first public comments on the strikes.
Most appear to have been militants killed during shootouts with Israeli forces, but Palestinians taking part in violent protests and civilian bystanders have also been killed. Israel has been waging a massive air and ground offensive in northern Gaza since October 6, saying that Hamas militants have regrouped there. Hundreds of people have been killed and tens of thousands of Palestinians have fled to Gaza City in the latest wave of displacement in the yearlong war.Aid groups have warned of a catastrophic situation in northern Gaza, which was the first target of Israel's ground offensive and had already suffered the heaviest destruction of the war.
