From what I can gather this conflict as been going on a long time and the Hamas group has existed for a while too. Why are all the news cycles suddenly focusing on this the past few weeks?

    Something like 10,000 civilians dead in the period of a month. Tends to draw the attention

      OP has a point. There are other conflicts that have high body counts that don’t drive front page stories. Yemen. The stuff going on in Myanmar. Uyghurs. Even the migrant crisis in the Mediterranean.

      You’re right that this is a significant conflict, but our news industry doesn’t assign column inches to body count.
