A lot of talk about the Israel / Gaza war starting on October 7 2023. While this is the case, the IDF did not go in immediately, there was (I think) a good month after before the invasion started, so all the destruction has taken less than six months, if we take the start date of the invasion as when they went in.
There were incursions in to Gaza, for recon etc.
Thanks for this, i was thinking more in terms of the relentless bombing, so acknowledge what happened before then.
The Point I am trying to make is that all this relentless destruction appears to have taken less than 6 months,
So yes, this started out with trying to minimise civilian casualties but ended up with where we are now.
@zleap not sure if you can call three weeks of heavy air strikes "minimise civilian casualties".
