SOUTHERN ISRAEL, ISRAEL - JANUARY 19: Israeli soldiers stand on a tank as they secure the border with the Gaza Strip, as seen from a postion on the Israeli side of the border on January 19, 2024 in Southern Israel, Israel. Israel increased air raids in the south of the Gaza Strip, where medicines are expected for hostages held by Hamas and humanitarian aid for the Palestinian population. Despite Israel's recent troop drawdown in Gaza and the discussion of postwar plans by an Israeli cabinet minister, the country has continued its intensive bombardment of the Gaza Strip, particularly in the territory's south, as it seeks to destroy Hamas, the Palestinian militant group behind the Oct. 7 attacks. At least 1,200 civilians and soldiers have been killed in Israel since October 7 along with some 190 IDF soldiers killed fighting in Gaza ground operations, while more than 24,000 people have been killed in Gaza in the last three months, according to the territory's health ministry, and most of the population has been displaced.
