Israel’s military began a heavy aerial bombardment of Gaza after nightfall on Friday and announced that it is “expanding” its ground operations into the territory—but did not declare a full-scale ground invasion that has been expected for weeks.Internet and phone service in Gaza has been mostly, if not entirely, cut off amid the bombing. The International Committee of the Red Cross cannot reach its medical personnel. A Washington Post reporter said the paper cannot reach its colleagues, either.S

Some people, communicating via satellite phones, have described the attack as the “heaviest bombardment yet,” according to independent journalist Sharif Kouddous.

“People can’t call ambulances or civil defense. We are being bombed in an unprecedented manner,” said an unidentified journalist at a Gaza hospital, according to a translation by The Nation’s Palestinian correspondent, Mohammed El-Kurd. “The sky around us just lights up [with explosions], and no one knows what’s going on.”

    That’s sorta true, but like cats and ants aren’t exactly sentient lol. They don’t commit war crimes and genocide because they can.

    Also maybe a space faring species has no issues with war with how much… space there is lol.

    Aw who am I kidding, its probably just like Elite Dangerous free for fall

      Cats are not a good example. They torture their prey. And kill billions of birds every year.

      Cats are sentient, they aren’t sapient as far as we are aware.

      I dunno where it comes from but lots of living things are sentient in fact most are, most aren’t however sapient.

      Cars are more sentient than most humans though.
