MAN's inhumanity to man is once again in full sway as large numbers of men, women and children, including entire families, and not necessarily bearing arms, are killed on both sides of the raging Hamas-Israel war in the Middle East.
The war began on October 7 after Hamas, a militant faction of the Palestinian Authority in control of Gaza, launched a savage attack on southern Israel, and Israel retaliated with massive airstrikes that killed over a thousand Palestinians as of this writing. Two Filipinos, out of some 30,000 overseas Filipino workers in Israel, have been confirmed dead by the Department of Foreign Affairs and at least six others are reported missing.
The war has stolen the thunder from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, which threatens to escalate into a wider European war, and the global tension in the Indo-Pacific arising from the superpower competition between China and the United States and China's territorial disputes with its neighbors. This is not the first war Israel and Hamas have fought; their last war in 2021 lasted 11 days and killed 250 in Gaza and 13 in Israel; their bloodiest was the Yom Kippur war on Oct.
