Life in Tel Aviv appears normal for Rhona Ukrainsky three months after Hamas killed 1,200 Israelis on Oct. 7, but the pain and fear are just under the surface, causing her to cry when the subject is mentioned and flinch when she hears a loud noise. Just over 100 days after Oct. 7, enduring pain is a key reason why polls in Israel show consistently high support for its military offensive in Gaza, even as optimism over whether it can achieve its stated goals has started to erode. Israeli forces have laid waste to much of the Palestinian enclave, killing over 24,000 people and wounding over 61,000, Gaza health officials say, as well as displacing most of the population, causing widespread hunger and disease.
