Been following the news over the last day and it’s so depressing. Such a complex situation and so hard to put my feelings and opinions into just a few words. I hope there is an end to the senseless suffering and violence inflicted upon innocent civilians. Right now it doesn’t sound like that is going to happen anytime soon :(

“The United States will move an aircraft carrier strike group to the eastern Mediterranean Sea while providing munitions and other equipment to help Israel in its newly declared war against Hamas. U.S. officials expect the Israeli government to launch a ground incursion into the densely populated Gaza Strip in the next 24 to 48 hours. Israel has been pounding Gaza with strikes, promising retaliation for an unprecedented attack by the militant group that took Israeli security forces by surprise. The death toll has risen to 700 in Israel and thousands have been injured, according to local media, while Palestinian authorities said at least 413 were killed and about 2,300 injured in Gaza. At least 260 bodies were recovered at the site of a music festival near the Gaza border in southern Israel, which was attacked by Hamas on Saturday, Israeli media reported. Fears of a regional spillover grew after Lebanese militant group Hezbollah said it attacked Israeli targets near the border “in solidarity” with Hamas and Israel said it struck back.”
