Carpet bombing with no regards of civilian life. Giulio Douhet would be proud, unfortunately.
Between 38,200 and 44,500 buildings throughout the Gaza Strip (about 14% of all buildings in Gaza, and 25% of northern Gaza) have been damaged or destroyed since the war's beginning, new study finds. One of the most intense bombing campaigns of the 21st century by sorties/time & civilian casualties
Maps: Tracking the Attacks in Israel and Gaza
At least a quarter of all buildings in northern Gaza are damaged or destroyed, a satellite analysis suggests.

The latest from @War_Mapper on Israel’s assault into #Gaza. The plan appears to be to isolate Gaza City and northern Gaza in the initial phase of the advance. What does this mean? 1/7 🧵
Gaza map update:
IDF continued pushing along the coast north of Gaza City.
They entered Beit Hanoun from the northeast after intense clashes.
Notably, south of Gaza City, the IDF crossed Salah Al Deen Road, moving toward the coastline.
Note: This map depicts IDF operational areas, not control.

One of Russia first moves at the start of the 2022 invasion of Ukraine was to station trained dolphins at the entrance of Sevastopol harbor. Similar dolphin pens have now turned up at a Russian Naval base in northwestern Crimea 🇺🇦🇷🇺🐬
