Israel vs Hamas: A Week in Photos of the Conflict

Images from the Recent Israel-Hamas Conflict

In the week since Hamas fired a deadly barrage of rockets toward Israel, which Israel responded to with airstrikes on Gaza, the world has seen images of death, destruction, and loss.

Palestinian children running for cover, their faces gripped with fear. Israeli mothers and fathers unable to restrain their grief. Paramedics responding in an infant’s dying moments. An eerily quiet scene from the site of the once lively music festival where Hamas militants launched an attack.

Continued attacks from both sides have leveled homes and places of worship. They are scenes not too different from what we have witnessed during other wars in recent years.

These powerful images have been captured by dedicated photographers, many of them Israeli and Palestinian journalists, who have been working under the most challenging circumstances with courage and resolve.
