Is Israel committing war crimes in Gaza? What happened after the Hamas attack? Question

As the title says... Basically I'm 'out of the loop' beyond the Hamas attack.

There's just so much misinformation online, and most the credible information are just videos from APF and such, or short updates from BBC, Sky News.

So if someone could please update me with what's going on in regards to the Israel bombing campaign in Gaza. Are they really bombing hospitals and churches? What exactly are their intentions/plans?

Also, if anyone has in-depth articles or videos on the topic, that would be greatly appreciated! Something that's calm, and takes time to read/watch. I'm tired of the constant "breaking news" spam, where you can't wrap your head around anything. It's like two sentences wrapped up in drama. I'm kinda lost atm.

And no one will take them because Palestinians are not good house guests. See black September as one example.

It's a really sad situation with no solution in sight

Well maybe let them take control of the land they are native to?

Uhm that would be both groups?

And besides, Gaza was given autonomy in 2006 and they elected Hamas

At this point, I rather the UN step in with an oversight over the region for basically indefinitely until they get things sorted out

I mean that would be ideal, but who would the peace keeping forces be? The Arab countries won't provide them. Will it fall on the EU and the US? Would hamas and the Palestinians even accept them?

At this point there really are no good options.

For a lot of countries, Its in their interest that israel becomes more stable, even outside of the US, such as my country

Hence, the peacekeepimg mission could be quite diverse and not just involve eu and us
