Summary
Gaza’s Health Ministry says that over 8,000 Palestinians have been killed since the beginning of the war between Israel and Hamas. Israel has since announced it has entered the “next stage” of its operations into Gaza, after sending in more ground troops to the enclave over the weekend.
Meanwhile, calls for an immediate ceasefire have grown, with protesters taking to the streets in cities around the world to demand an unconditional end to the fighting.
And in headlines: the suspected gunman behind last week’s deadly mass shootings in Maine has been found dead, Hollywood is mourning the sudden passing of “Friends” star Matthew Perry, and former Vice President Mike Pence dropped out of the 2024 presidential race.

| 0:26.9 | This one, including the sending of ground forces into Gaza and expanding other attacks |
| 0:31.8 | from the ground air and sea. |
| 0:34.3 | Now it's important to note that this is not the all-out escalation that we've been |
| 0:39.0 | anticipating for a couple of weeks now, or at least that's not what they're calling |
| 0:43.0 | it. |

| 1:02.5 | opposed to a singular massive offensive, which, according to the Washington Post, is perhaps |
| 1:07.8 | a reflection of the Biden administration's influence. |
| 1:11.1 | Nonetheless, the Israeli strikes from this stage of the conflict knocked out most of |
