NORTHERN GAZA - OCTOBER 15: Smoke rises from buildings, viewed from the Israeli side of the border, as the Israeli military conducts a bombardment on October 15, 2023 in northern Gaza. Israel has sealed off Gaza and launched sustained retaliatory air strikes, which have killed at least 1,400 people with more than 400,000 displaced, after a large-scale attack by Hamas. On October 7, the Palestinian militant group Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel from Gaza by land, sea, and air, killing over 1,300 people and wounding around 2,800. Israeli soldiers and civilians have also been taken hostage by Hamas and moved into Gaza. The attack prompted a declaration of war by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the announcement of an emergency wartime government. (Photo by Alexi J. Rosenfeld/Getty Images)

The Assault on Israel’s Judiciary

GAZA CITY, GAZA - AUGUST 30: A man leaves after closing his cafe on the corniche of the Gaza Strip, due to the coronavirus lockdown on August 30, 2020 in Gaza City, Gaza. Fears are growing that the already crippled health care system will not be able to cope, as coronavirus cases continue to rise throughout the Gaza strip. In the past weeks Israel has responded to incendiary balloons launched from Gaza, with airstrikes and further blockade restrictions adding to the pressure on residents already struggling with just four hours of electricity a day. In the past week, the Ministry of Health and Security Services in the Gaza Strip have issued strict lockdown and movement restrictions, to try to contain the rising infections. On August 31, Hamas agreed to temporarily end hostilities with Israel in exchange for a cash infusion from Qatar and an agreement with Israel to once again allow fuel to Gaza’s power station in a bid to calm the ongoing situation and deal with the latest coronavirus outbreak. Since March, there have reportedly been over 500 coronavirus cases with 5 confirmed deaths in the Gaza strip. (Photo by Fatima Shbair/Getty Images)
