Gaza, Oct 25: Several reports have surfaced indicating a potential ground invasion of Gaza by Israel, raising concerns in India. The UN Security Council, where India voiced its worry over the deteriorating security situation and large-scale civilian casualties, is closely monitoring the Israel-Gaza conflict.
US President Joe Biden, meanwhile, stated that Israel has the right to make its own decisions, while he urged caution and affirmed US support for its ally. The Israeli Defense Forces are reportedly preparing for a ground entry into the Gaza Strip. Israel claims to have launched 400 airstrikes in the past day, targeting Hamas commanders and terrorists.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has consistently pledged to crush Hamas since the attacks on October 7. The conflict has resulted in a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with 2.3 million people reportedly running out of essential supplies like food, water, and medicine.
The Hamas-run Health Ministry reports that at least 5,791 Palestinians have been killed and 16,297 injured. In the occupied West Bank, violence and Israeli raids have resulted in 96 Palestinian deaths and 1,650 injuries since the conflict began.
