Israeli warplanes have been bombing the northern Gaza Strip for a second consecutive day, causing Palestinians at both ends of the territory to flee from intense attacks. Israel is also preparing for a ground assault on Rafah in the south and is poised to evacuate civilians before the operation. The fighting has displaced many in Rafah, forcing them to consider whether to move again as Israeli threats intensify.
Meanwhile, Hamas released a video showing Israeli-American hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin alive, prompting his father to call for a ceasefire. The war, now in its seventh month, has resulted in significant Palestinian casualties and destruction, with over 34,000 deaths according to Gaza health authorities.
In the U.S., protests against Israel's actions in Gaza are growing on college campuses. President Biden has maintained support for Israel but is balancing concerns about free speech and student safety amid rising tensions on campuses. Aid flow to Gaza has increased, but the U.S. continues to urge further assistance.
