Israelis and Palestinians end dark year, with no end in sight to war

Israeli hostages

Relatives and supporters light their phones around a placard reading "Get them out of hell" during a rally calling for the release of Israeli hostages held in Gaza since the October 7 attacks by Hamas in southern Israel, in Tel Aviv on December 30, 2023.

What you need to know:

  • The Israeli army says 170 soldiers have been killed in combat inside Gaza.
  • The UN says more than 85 per cent of Gaza's 2.4 million people have fled their homes.

Israelis and Palestinians end a dark year on Sunday, with no end in sight to the deadliest military offensive on Gaza, triggered by Hamas' bloodiest attack on Israel.

There has been no respite from Israel's air raids, artillery fire or ground fighting with Hamas in the Gaza Strip, to the despair of Palestinians surviving the onslaught.
