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?
Gaza Strip is 365km2 compared to Ukraine’s 603,550km2.
Gaza city being 45km2 compared to 839km2 for Kiev.
Per Wikipedia.
