25,000 people have died in Gaza since the start of Israeli-Hamas offensive – Hamas-run health ministry

Over 25,000 people have died in Gaza because of Israel’s attack, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.
It was reported that 178 people died in the last day, which makes it one of the deadliest days in the war.

As the fighting kept happening, Israel’s leader Benjamin Netanyahu said no to making a country for the Palestinians.

The White House said that the US and Israel have different views on a two-state solution.

Israel started attacking after an incident on October 7th, when Hamas fighters killed 1,300 people in southern Israel and took over 240 people as hostages.

Hamas said the attack in October was necessary to fight against Israel and to free Palestinian prisoners.

Israel is concentrating its air and ground operation in southern Gaza, where they believe top leaders of Hamas are hiding in or under the city of Khan Younis.

The Israel Defense Forces found a long tunnel with traps and doors in it. It was about 830m (2,700ft) long.

The IDF video showed a tunnel with beds and rooms inside. Israel thinks about 20 people, including kids, were kept there at different times. No one was found when the tunnel was discovered.

Israeli soldiers are being attacked again in the northern part of the Gaza Strip. Hamas has taken control of an area near the town of Jabalia while Israel has sent troops and tanks south.

For over three months, Israel has been facing strong opposition from Gaza, even though their army is much stronger than Hamas’s.

According to US intelligence agencies, the Israeli military has killed about one-fifth to one-third of Hamas fighters. However, this is much less than what Mr. Netanyahu wanted, which was to completely destroy the armed group.

The secret report also says that Hamas still has enough weapons to keep attacking Israel and Israeli forces for several months. This could lead to a long war where Israel could get stuck.

The slow progress in capturing or killing top Hamas leaders, and the 130 Israeli hostages still missing, is making people in Israel more and more angry at the government.

Families of people held by Hamas are protesting and asking Mr Netanyahu to focus on getting their loved ones released instead of trying to destroy Hamas, which may be very difficult. A small group of people who are against war are showing how upset they are about the large amount of destruction caused in Gaza by a very intense and damaging military attack.

Many Israelis support their flag, but most don’t support their prime minister. A recent poll shows that only 15% of the public think the prime minister should remain in office after the war.

Mr Netanyahu and Israel’s allies disagree on how it will end. The Israeli leader said no to a future country for the Palestinians again after talking to the US president for the first time in almost a month.

In a message on X (formerly Twitter), he said that Israel should keep “security control over the whole area to the west of the Jordan River”, including the occupied West Bank territory.

Mr Netanyahu has always strongly disagreed with the idea of a Palestinian state during his time in politics. The prime minister keeps saying the same thing over and over again, even though most people don’t agree with him. He thinks most people in the country don’t want a separate country for Palestinians because they are too upset about the attacks.

He seems to be trying to stay in power, but his efforts are making Israel’s friends very frustrated. They want the violence to make both sides talk and find a way to have two separate countries that can survive.

UK Defense Secretary Grant Shapps said on the BBC that he was not happy with Mr. Netanyahu’s position The White House and Israel have different views.

Antonio Guterres, the leader of the United Nations, said it is not okay to reject a Palestinian state. He said it would make the fight last longer and be a big problem for the world’s peace and safety.
