Hey everyone! We have some serious news from the Middle East that you might have heard about.
What’s happening?
Israel has started a big series of attacks on the Gaza Strip early Tuesday. This happened after talks to release hostages didn’t work out.
Who are the hostages?
Hostages are people who are captured and held by others. In this case, some people were taken by a group called Hamas, which is in Gaza.
Why is this important?
The attacks are some of the most intense since the war began between Israel and Hamas. It’s a big deal because it might end a two-month ceasefire (that’s when both sides agree to stop fighting for a while).
What does this mean?
With the ceasefire possibly ending, there could be more fighting ahead. This affects many people living in both Israel and Gaza, including kids just like you.
