As Israel’s war on Gaza surpasses 100 days, more than 24,000 Palestinians have been killed, almost 2 million displaced, and countless others injured. With little hope of a ceasefire, Israel’s continued targeting of Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian officials in Lebanon and Syria, Houthi maritime attacks in the Red Sea, and the U.S.-led coalition’s retaliatory strikes against Houthi bases in Yemen mark significant escalations.
