Over 500 have been killed on both sides as fighting intensified between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas. Hamas fighters breached Gaza's barrier and attacked Israeli towns and military sites. Israel vowed to use full force to destroy Hamas in retaliation. Hamas called on Palestinian resistance to joining its 'Operation Al-Aqsa Flood'. With significant casualties, Israel said Hamas terrorists massacred civilians after invading the country. As the death toll crossed 500, the Indian embassy in Israel advised Indians to exercise caution and follow local protocols amid the severe escalation. The US backed Israel while the UN Security Council called an emergency meeting over the raging Israel-Hamas conflict.
