The war, which began on 7 October 2023, has now reached its 100th day and seen thousands of deaths, millions of displacements and countless buildings destroyed.
ADVERTISEMENTNow 100 days old, the latest Israel-Hamas war is by far the longest, bloodiest, and most destructive conflict between the bitter enemies.
The fighting erupted on 7 October when Hamas carried out a deadly attack in southern Israel. Since then, Israel has relentlessly pounded the Gaza Strip with airstrikes and a ground offensive that have wrought unprecedented destruction, flattening entire neighbourhoods.
The offensive has displaced the vast majority of Palestinians in Gaza, shuttered operations in more than half of Gaza's hospitals and caused widespread hunger, UN monitors say.
The Israeli military says it has now scaled back operations in the hard-hit north. In the south, though, where it says Hamas' leaders are hiding, it presses forward at full strength.
Meanwhile, Lebanon's Hezbollah militia and Israel have engaged in cross-border skirmishes nearly every day since the war began.
