An analysis by Patrick Kingsley for The New York Times details how "Israel's" 19-day war on Gaza has come under intense global scrutiny due to its intensity.

He says that the Israelis claim to have struck over 7,000 "targets" inside Gaza, a higher number than any previous Israeli aggression in the territory. Interestingly, that is the number of civilian deaths reported by the Health Ministry in Gaza.

Kingsley says that the scale of the aggression has raised concerns about its impact on civilian life and infrastructure.

Gaza's health ministry reports that over 6,500 people have been martyred in these strikes, potentially making this the deadliest conflict for Palestinians since 1982.

"Israel" claims that its strikes are defensive in nature, aimed at degrading Gaza's resistance military infrastructure often located near civilian areas. Officials and analysts warn that a potential ground invasion could be even bloodier, and the airstrikes are intended to reduce casualties among Palestinian civilians and Israeli soldiers during such an invasion.

There is growing concern for the Israelis that the IOF may face a challenging urban war once they invade Gaza, given the presence of Resistance fighters in tunnel networks. Some experts claim that extending the air campaign could make it easier for Israeli ground forces to operate when the ground war begins.

He also notes that the aerial bombardment in Gaza has surpassed even the most intense month of strikes conducted by a US-led coalition on ISIS-held Mosul in Iraq, citing data from the conflict monitoring organization Airwars. The scale and impact of the campaign continue to be a subject of international concern and debate as the use of "warning strikes" has been scaled back.

The Israelis have been deliberately targeting civilians in the Gaza Strip in an attempt to break the will of the people.

After failing to do so, US embassies, military bases, and warships across the region have become the targets of frequent attacks by angered Arab masses. 

Earlier today, WSJ reported that "Israel's" ground invasion of the Gaza Strip will be delayed to give the United States the chance to transfer additional air defense systems into the Middle East.

The US Department of State had previously stated that it would be transferring air defense assets to the Middle East to protect its troops and assets in the region.

WSJ says the US will deploy 12 air defense systems to counter attacks on its troops in Iraq, Syria, Kuwait, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. Furthermore, concerned Israeli officials have agreed to delay an expected ground invasion of the Gaza Strip until the air defense systems are set up as early as later this week.

Unnamed US officials told the newspaper that the US expects its troops and bases to be attacked by several groups in the region when the ground invasion ensues.

"Israel" is also said to be taking this opportunity to retrieve some of the captives held by the Resistance in Gaza in exchange for humanitarian aid, which it has blocked off more than 2 million people for more than two weeks.

At least 24 US military personnel were wounded by successful attacks by Resistance factions in Iraq, in response to the ongoing massacres in Gaza.

The current death toll in the Strip has exceeded 7,000, as per the Government Information Office in Gaza.
