"Israel is entering its third week of war against Hamas after the terrorist group infiltrated the country on October 7, firing thousands of rockets at residential areas and butchering civilians," Fox News reported.
"At least 6,400 people have been killed in the war on both sides, including at least 1,400 Israeli civilians and soldiers and 33 Americans," it noted.
Israeli Defense Forces continue to work toward the release of hostages and putting down Hamas terrorists.
Hamas has continued to fire missiles toward civilian areas, including the major city of Tel Aviv to the north of Gaza.
The ongoing fighting is not expected to end soon as Israel seeks a larger response to fully stop Hamas from future terror attacks.
