Gaza

There's a complete internet and cellular blackout in Gaza as Israeli airstrikes are intensifying. Palestinians are being wiped out.

I didn't go looking for this information

If the internet is blocked how do you know Palestinians are being wiped out?

Also, wouldn't it take many many months of target carpet bombing, just like what has been happening in Ukraine?

You do know there are journalists in the region who would have internet access right? Palestine also barely had any infrastructure to begin with. It's carpet bombing doesn't take long when your bombing a city that has been carpet bombed about fifty times already and has been unable to rebuild. What an ignorant take on the situation.
