Global markets are on edge as investors closely monitor the escalating Israeli airstrikes in Gaza, which have resulted in significant destruction, including apartment buildings, and a military advance towards Gaza City. The conflict, which has been intensifying over recent weeks, is causing unrest in the oil market due to fears of potential supply disruptions.

The situation is further complicated by the impending decision on interest rates by the U.S. Federal Reserve. This move could significantly sway global markets and add to the existing economic uncertainty. As investors worldwide navigate these concurrent events with caution, global shares have seen a slight increase.

The Israeli military's north and eastward push towards Gaza City has been marked by fierce battles with Hamas militants and the targeting of besieged apartments. These developments are contributing to the volatility in the oil market and driving up prices.

Investors worldwide are cautiously observing these unfolding geopolitical tensions. The potential impact on the global economy of these concurrent events - the escalating conflict and pending interest rate decision - is inducing a sense of caution among market participants.
