2023 Israel-Palestine Armed Conflict

...are you worried because it's multiple countries sending resources and thus that will somehow trigger WWIII? Because you realize the invasion of Iraq in 2003 was a multi-country operation as well.
People back then were pretty worried about an escalation, too. But from my knowledge, there wasn't a similar conflict like the RUS/UKR war, that is still raging on today, either. Sure, there's no reason to panic (yet, at least). But being worried isn't a misplaced emotion.
 

Israel has announced a full-scale offensive

edit:
Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said Tuesday that the Israel Defense Forces is moving to a “full offense” against the Gaza Strip, as sporadic clashes with Hamas terrorists in southern Israel continued for the fourth day.

“I have released all the restraints, we have [regained] control of the area, and we are moving to a full offense,” Gallant said in an address to troops along the Gaza border.

“You will have the ability to change the reality here. You have seen the prices [being paid], and you will get to see the change. Hamas wanted a change in Gaza; it will change 180 degrees from what it thought,” he said.


“They will regret this moment, Gaza will never go back to what it was,” Gallant continued. “Whoever comes to decapitate, murder women, Holocaust survivors, we will eliminate him with all our might, and without compromise.”

An Egyptian official told The Times of Israel on Tuesday that Cairo has been informed by Israel that it is readying for a monthslong ground campaign in Gaza.
They are really gonna fucking wipe away all of Gaza aren't they.

RUS/UKR is literally why this isn't something to be worried about. One of the largest militaries in the world is expending all their resources on this while other countries send their military resources to Ukraine (Turkey included). Plus this is really a one-sided conflict. There are no serious nations jumping at the opportunity to defend Gaza with their lives/resources.
