For 48 hours, the world’s attention and international media has shifted (back) to an age-old conflict that has entered a new bloody chapter after Hamas launched an unprecedented attack against Israel on Saturday morning. More than 700 people have been killed in Israel and at least 500 have died in Gaza, following massive retaliatory air strikes.
