The war between Israel and Hamas is entering its 100th day. The fighting erupted after Islamist militant group Hamas launched a terrorist attack on Israel on October 7th. Israel responded with airstrikes and a ground invasion of the Gaza Strip.
Since then, the toll has been devastating. Around 1,200 people -- including 520 soldiers -- have been killed on the Israeli side, most of them on the first day, making October 7th the deadliest day since the founding of the Jewish state.
The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says almost 24,000 Palestinians have been killed - many of them women and children. The Israeli military says more than 7,000 of the dead are militants. The UN says at least 300 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank.
Israel's military campaign has damaged or destroyed around half of Gaza's buildings and displaced almost 2 million people. Some Israelis have doubts about the way the war is being carried out. But Israel has vowed to press on with its military campaign to eliminate Hamas.
In Israel people are calling on the government to do more for the release of the hostages.
According to Israeli authorities during the October 7 attack by Hamas 257 people were abducted in total. 110 have been released alive, and 11 bodies retrieved. Israel believes 136 hostages are still held in Gaza - though it suspects some of them are dead.
Tens of thousands of Israelis have gathered in protest in Tel Aviv demanding the release of hostages held by Hamas.
The protesters are marking100 days since Hamas took the hostages during the October 7th attacks. Israelis are calling on their government to do more for the release of the hostages who include civilians and Israeli soilders.
