This is the best summary I could come up with:
Israel began carrying out airstrikes on Gaza after Hamas militants staged a devastating terror attack on Israeli communities on October 7 that killed more than 1,400 people.
During an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council on Monday, Israeli UN ambassador Gilad Erdan displayed the yellow star on his chest and said he would continue to do so until the body condemned the atrocities committed by Hamas militants on October 7.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) says it struck some 300 militant targets over the past day and that troops had engaged in battles with Hamas fighters inside Gaza.
The IDF said its overnight strikes hit missile and rocket launch posts as well as “military compounds inside underground tunnels belonging to the Hamas terrorist organization.”
The military wing of Hamas said it fired mortar rounds at Israeli forces near a closed border crossing between Israel and Gaza in the southern end of the territory.
Riyad Mansour, the Palestinian permanent UN Observer, has described the besieged Gaza Strip as “hell on earth,” adding that half of the homes there were damaged or destroyed, with over 1.4 million displaced.
