 ling over 1\,200 people and abducting over 240 hostages. In response\, Isr
 ael went to war against Hamas\, seeking to decisively defeat Hamas and end
  its rule in the Gaza Strip. This war has so far killed over 20\,000 Pales
 tinians\, displaced most of the civilian population\, caused widespread de
 struction in Gaza\, and created a humanitarian crisis. The war has also re
