Images show smoke billowing over the northern Gaza Strip as the conflict rages on after the October 7 attacks when Hamas militants stormed the border, killing 1,400 people and kidnapping more than 240, Israeli officials say. Since then, Israel's bombardment of the Palestinian territory has intensified as it sent in ground troops. The health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza says 9,227 people have been killed, two-thirds of them women and children. IMAGES
