Israel's 'Kinder, Gentler' Bombing Increases Damage Rate to Gaza's Structures

Israel’s “kinder, gentler bombing,” after U.S. President Biden and Secretary of State Blinken had supposedly laid down the law to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, has actually damaged structures in Gaza at a faster rate than the previous seven weeks. Satellite analysis carried out by the City University of New York Graduate Center and Oregon State University, using the Copernicus Sentinel Data, indicates that around 19-26% of all structures in Gaza had been damaged between Oct. 14 and Nov. 17, after five weeks of bombing—averaging 4-5% per week.
