> After Hamas’s October 7, 2023, terror attack, Israel launched a massive military offensive in Gaza. The war has left most of the Strip in ruins and killed more than 74,200 people, according to Gaza’s Hamas-led Health Ministry, a figure the UN considers accurate. Israel has also widened its military operations across the Middle East over the past three years, fighting on several fronts. DW’s Anja Kueppers-McKinnon speaks with Middle East expert Daniel Gerlach.
