The airstrikes have killed over 1,100 Palestinians, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. The Israeli military says more than 1,200 were killed and dozens more abducted, and the government declared war, promising a punishing campaign to destroy Hamas' military capabilities. This time, Israeli airstrikes are rapidly laying waste to vast swaths of Gaza, and casualties are mounting too fast for anyone to keep up. In many cases, residents say, the Israeli military has bombed apartment towers without the usual warning shots, wiping out families in their homes. The Israeli military rarely comments on individual airstrikes.
