The armed conflict between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas continues for the fourth day.
Despite Hamas's threats to execute hostages if the bombing of the Gaza Strip continues, Israel insists there will be no negotiations and continues preparations for a ground operation.

CNN, citing the Israeli government's press office and other sources, reported that the Israeli death toll, including those killed at a music festival, is at least 900.
The number of injured seems to exceed 2,600.
Furthermore, about 150 hostages are reported to be held in the Gaza Strip by foreign media.
Among the dead and the hostages are foreigners from the USA, UK, France, Germany, Ukraine, and other countries.
There have also been a significant number of casualties in the Gaza Strip.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced that 704 have died due to Israeli attacks, with 2,400 injured.
Hamas has threatened to execute Israeli civilian prisoners if the bombing of civilian homes in the Gaza Strip continues.
CNN and other outlets, analyzing the videos released by Hamas, suggest that at least four hostages appear to have been detained and subsequently killed.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu declared, "There will be no negotiations, " and emphasized that "entering Gaza is inevitable, " suggesting an imminent ground operation.
He also described Hamas as the IS, characterizing the situation as "a clash between civilization and barbarism," and called for Western intervention.

[Korean reaction]
--------------------
I fear the Korean Peninsula might end up like that. The war that erupted with the rise of the far-right regime in Israel. These days, with our president's casual remarks, our military is jittery, wondering what North Korea is thinking, getting startled even by the sound of fireworks.
I have no words for this war... I don't know whose side to take... However, both parties involved in the war should face historical judgment...
Watch out for Yoon Seok-yeol who incites war! Think about the sacrifices of civilians!
It was Israel that intruded into Palestinian land; relying on the backing of the West, it was Israel that unilaterally established a nation.
