It’s been two weeks since Israel launched its latest offensive in Gaza, one that is set to expand further. Attacks on the enclave in this period have regularly killed dozens, per Hamas-run health ministries, with reports over the weekend of deaths at an aid site. Some of Israel’s allies are even turning on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The offensive does appear to have weakened Hamas – the Israeli military said it killed Muhammad Sinwar, the militant group’s Gaza leader, during airstrikes in May.
