Israel has claimed that the bombing campaign and ground offensive are necessary to dismantle Hamas group and prevent a repeat of its Oct. 7 attack, in which militants broke through Israel’s formidable defenses and killed some 1,200 people – mostly civilians – and abducted around 240.
Most recently, Israel launched heavy strikes across central and southern Gaza overnight and into Wednesday after broadening its offensive against Hamas in other areas where the military had told innocent Palestinians to seek shelter earlier in the war.
Despite U.S. calls for Israel to curb civilian casualties and international pressure for a cease-fire in Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that the military was deepening the fighting. “We say to the Hamas terrorists: We see you and we will get to you,” Netanyahu said.

Following his Broward drug arrest, Kodak, whose legal name is Bill Kapri, was being held at the Miami Federal Detention Center from last week on a probation violation. According to court documents, Kodak surrendered after the government sought to temporarily detain him.
Apparently he was in violation of his probation which is linked to a 2019 case in which Kodak pleaded guilty to lying on a background-check form when he purchased handguns at a Hialeah weapons store, court records show. The rapper, however, was placed on probation for three years, with the period ending in January 2024.
