According to various sources, including AP, Israel's military campaign in Gaza is being characterized as one of the most brutal and destructive in recent history. The intensity of the civilian casualties, the targeting and killing of protected groups, and the use of certain munitions are said to make this campaign exceptionally severe. Experts have compared the level of destruction in Gaza to the devastation seen in historical conflicts and other recent sieges, suggesting that the scale surpasses the destruction of Aleppo in Syria, Mariupol in Ukraine, and even, proportionally, the Allied bombing of Germany during World War II. Observations from space have reportedly shown that Gaza now appears differently in terms of color and texture, indicating significant changes to the landscape.
