Gaza
There's a complete internet and cellular blackout in Gaza as Israeli airstrikes are intensifying. Palestinians are being wiped out.
I didn't go looking for this information
If the internet is blocked how do you know Palestinians are being wiped out?
Also, wouldn't it take many many months of target carpet bombing, just like what has been happening in Ukraine?
It’s densely populated. Imagine carpet bombing Melbourne Central all the way down to Flinders Street on a Saturday afternoon.
