Until Hamas and the right wing element of the Israel government are both gone the conflict will never truly stop.

I think its a futile exercise for the West to be getting involved and for us all to even be discussing it.

Like the US gun laws - discussions on every shooting that occurs and the same debates on the news / social media is all ultimately pointless.
 
Thing is with any air burst detonation is the pressure/shock wave has to be taken into account. With air burst the 1st shockwave reflects off the ground and then meets the oncoming 2nd shockwave - this can increase the overall blast effect of the shockwave by a factor of twenty. It has much more area effect than a ground impact. So you would expect too see cars blasted everywhere, trees ripped apart and buildings damaged or destroyed.

As for shrapnel - well it’s indiscriminate by nature and it will embed itself everywhere - in cars, buildings, people.

Also you would expect to see remnants of the payload delivery at the impact site. Casing material etc…

Just can’t see that this was a bomb, arty round or air bust munition. It looks like a rocket with a small warhead has Exploded and ignited its own propellant and caused a blast/fireball.
You'd think that the solar panels that and roof tiles would have taken a hit if it was an air explosion. Not that I'd know, just assume.

It is all very sad and senseless and both sides are at fault.
 
Over 7,000 Palestinians murderd so far, 3,000 of them children.
The world is definetely in a precarious position.

I think that it is worth noting that when Russia attempts to spin anything or to try and position itself as an ethical leader that it be understood and acknowledged that they are knowingly causing the below atrocities and war crimes, with no intent of stopping their barbarism.

Total civilian casualties From 24 February 2022, which marked the start of the large-scale armed attack by the Russian Federation, to 8 October 2023, OHCHR recorded 27,768 civilian casualties in the country [Ukraine]: 9,806 killed and 17,962 injured. OHCHR believes that the actual figures are considerably higher, as the receipt of information from some locations where intense hostilities have been going on has been delayed and many reports are still pending corroboration.

The number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) continues to drop with the latest figures indicating there are 3.674 million IDPs inside Ukraine as well as a further 6.204 million refugees who have sought shelter abroad [9.878 million Ukrainians].

Further to these crimes.
Ukraine estimates that approximately 3 million Ukrainians have been illegally deported to Russian-controlled territories. Ukrainian authorities have verified at least 20,000 children among them. But the real number is much higher: Russia announced that it had moved 700,000 children since invading Ukraine in 2014, although the crime was not highly publicized until the full-scale invasion in February 2022.


They have also established Russian reeducation camps for kidnapped Ukrainian children.


This not even considering the rapes, tortue and murders Russian troops are committing in Ukraine but you can see why when Russia and its partners the Iranain regime, and Xi's China, when trying to assume a position of moral authority and leadership are dismissed. Obviously they also have the support of the Assad regime in the region.

Anyone supporting the monster Putin, or trying to excuse his regime is supporting a war criminal akin to Adolf Hitler.

 
They should all move to the south. Inevitable gound operation starting soon.
I must say that like any Hamas fighters going into Israel, the IDF who also do so into Gaza are only going in to commit war crimes and ethnically cleanse a place, and therefore I wouldn't shed tears if they are massively unsuccessful.
The UN need to have an emergency meeting and deploy troops. The US and UK can go swivel.
