Saralnama64,500 people have died in Gaza since Israel launched its military operation. The attack came after Hamas killed 1,200 Israelis and took 251 hostages. Israel says it's fighting a just war to destroy Hamas and free hostages. But many experts say Israel's actions are not proportionate under international law. The UN reports 42% of Gaza's buildings are destroyed and 37% damaged. A quarter of Gazans face famine. Israel denies using starvation as a weapon. The IDF claims it tries to limit civilian harm. But the high death toll and destruction raise serious questions about the operation's proportionality. (Updated 12 Sep 2025, 13:10 IST; source: link)
