Following the surprise attack against Israel by Hamas, a photo of a mother, father, and three children caught in the crossfire has gone viral on the internet. When the family’s safe room—which was where they were taking refuge—was breached by a Palestinian militant group over the weekend, the family members were killed. The family friend Dor Pundark was in contact with them just before they went silent.
As Israel continuously pounding the Gaza Strip, the families of at least 150 Israeli hostages inside Gaza are growing increasingly terrified, and surrounding areas have been evacuated.
In a Monday press conference in New York, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres condemned the deaths that resulted from the weekend’s Hamas strikes and Israeli counterattacks. According to Margaret Besheer, a U.N. correspondent for VOA, Guterres called for a two-state solution to the crisis through negotiation and urged both sides to protect civilians and Hamas to release hostages. Guterres also urged both sides to protect civilians.
On Sunday in Kirkland, Washington State, two rallies faced off. While pro-Palestinian protest participants came to show solidarity for Gaza, Israeli expats gathered to support their country in its war against Hamas.
