Israel is calling up tens of thousands of reservists to increase its military actions in Gaza. The army says it wants to put more pressure on Hamas and free the 59 hostages still held there. The fighting started again in March after a ceasefire ended, and talks for a new deal have failed. Many people in Israel are protesting, asking the government to stop the war and make a deal to bring hostages home. Aid groups warn of a growing crisis in Gaza, with little food or medicine. Meanwhile, Yemen’s Houthi rebels threaten more attacks on Israel in response.
