The conflict between Israel and Palestinian militants has continued to escalate. Israel has launched multiple airstrikes targeting what it described as locations linked to Hamas, the Islamist group that controls Gaza. Palestinian artist and activist Malak Mattar described the escalating situation as a ‘crisis’. Mattar called it a war against innocent kids and civilians as over 100 people have been killed and hundreds injured in airstrikes unleashed by Israel since the conflict began four days ago.

India Today’s Geeta Mohan in an exclusive interview with Malak Mattar talks about the ground situation in Gaza City and the escalation in ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict. Mattar also discusses expectations from international community in solving the crisis and possible resolutions to the conflict.
