A Year Into the Israel-Hamas Conflict, No Ceasefire in Sight

One year after the devastating October 7 attack led by Hamas, which killed 1,200 Israelis and resulted in 250 kidnappings, Israel’s military response has left over 41,000 Palestinians dead, according to Gaza health officials. The conflict, now raging on three fronts, shows no signs of abating, as both sides continue their operations with no clear path toward a ceasefire.

Reflecting on the past year, experts note that rather than a resolution, the war has intensified. Civilians on both sides are experiencing unimaginable suffering, with displaced families in Gaza enduring severe conditions and Israelis living under the constant threat of violence.
