Thousands of Palestinians are fleeing south after Israel told them to evacuate from the north – and then bombarded southern Gaza with missiles.

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has claimed tens of thousands of lives and displaced many millions of people and has its roots in a colonial act carried out more than a century ago.

The Palestinian Authority (PA) is a governing body that has overseen parts of the Israeli-occupied West Bank since the mid-’90s. Its creation was supposed to pave the way to an independent Palestinian state, but today it is considered to have little real power and is operating under the control of the Israeli military.

The ongoing military attack launched by Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) on the Gaza Strip since Saturday has resulted in 849 deaths, including more than 150 children and 105 women, and six healthcare workers, and the injury of more than 4360 civilians according to the latest update, WAFA news agency reported.

The United States has said it will send multiple military ships and aircraft closer to Israel as a show of support following Saturday’s surprise attack by the Palestinian armed group Hamas. US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Sunday said Washington will also increase military aid and provide munitions to Israel.
