Netanyahu's 'war for political survival' : Are objectives being met as Israel battles Hamas in Gaza?

The UN Security Council is set to vote on a ceasefire resolution as war with Hamas dragged on, with more Israeli strikes targeting southern Gaza. Hamas militants carried out an unprecedented attack against Israel from the Gaza Strip on October 7, killing around 1,140 people in Israel, most of them civilians, according to an AFP tally based on official Israeli figures. The militants also took about 250 hostages, of whom 105 have been released and several killed, including by friendly fire. Aiming to eliminate Hamas, Israel has carried out a relentless bombardment of Gaza, alongside a ground invasion, that has killed 19,453 people, mostly women and children, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.
