Gaza: Israeli forces launched air strikes on Gaza, Yemen, Lebanon, and Syria on May 5, 2025, intensifying their campaign of military aggression as the war toll escalates.
In Gaza, at least 54 people were killed in the latest air strikes, bringing the death toll to over 61,700 since the conflict began. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a new ground offensive aimed at forcibly displacing Gaza's more than two million residents, as the region endures a 65-day blockade.
With hospitals on the brink of collapse and essential supplies running dangerously low, Gaza’s Health Ministry reports that 118,610 people have been injured. Thousands remain trapped under rubble, feared dead. The humanitarian crisis has reached a tipping point, with growing fears over the fate of the sick and wounded.
On the broader regional front, Israel’s airstrikes extended to Yemen, Lebanon, and Syria, exacerbating already volatile situations. In these countries, the military operations have left additional casualties in their wake, heightening tensions across the Middle East.
The ongoing conflict traces its roots back to the deadly Hamas-led attacks on Israel in October 2023, which resulted in 1,139 Israeli deaths and over 200 captives. As violence continues to spread, the international community remains on edge, with warnings of further destabilization in the region.
