      That has been obvious for at least 40 years but yep. This is how carpet bombing looks like with modern weaponry.

          The thing is: What’s going on in Gaza right now is the modern equivalent of carpet bombing. When you can call in airstrikes with building-level accuracy, there’s no reason to bomb whole cities to the ground anymore, so what Israel is doing now is its spiritual successor.

            Whilst I agree that Israel is willing to cause a lot of damage just to get rid of a small amount of Hamas members, it’s definitely very far from carpet bombing (of Dresden, for example) where there are several warnings to leave the critical zones.

              They sometimes send warnings (that Gazans aren’t always able to receive). A lot of the time they don’t. Also like the other guy said, Israel has dropped enough bombs for 6 Dresdens. They just didn’t do it all at once.
