"Israeli Strikes Leave Nearly 70% of Gaza Homes Damaged or Destroyed"

The Israeli military's bombardment of Gaza has resulted in the destruction of over 70% of homes in the area, with experts comparing the devastation to historic bombing campaigns such as Dresden. The offensive has been one of the deadliest in recent history, killing over 21,500 people, including a high percentage of civilians, and displacing over 90% of the population. Criticism has arisen over the use of US-made munitions, including imprecise "dumb" bombs and potentially banned white phosphorous, though Israel denies the latter. Despite the high civilian toll, the Israeli army maintains that its strikes comply with international law.
