The renewed fighting between the Palestinian militant group Hamas and the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) has claimed more than 250 lives on both sides, with thousands injured as a result. Added to this growing list of casualties are more than two dozen hostages being held by Hamas.
Knowing the history between both parties, many international news agencies anticipate that this war is going to be long, brutal, and perhaps produce the most deaths since the conflict started in the 1960s.
