Not at all you can clearly see many houses having fully disappeared by being flattened with bulldozers

Let me correct that for you. It should be: Yes, though I agree you can also see some places where houses were leveled by bulldozer.

The angle the photos were taken from are also different. That increases the appearance of devastation beyond what is actually there. This image is an intention exaggeration of something that was already unacceptable. Doing so erodes confidence in information about the things happening there. Who knows, maybe this was even created by the IDF for that purpose.

The sandy image gives it a different look but the destruction is actually that massive. Another example from Aug 23; CNN Children are drinking from puddles and wading through sewage pools, as Israel pummels water systems in Gaza

Are you replying to the right comment. No one on this comment thread has said that there wasn't large scale destruction or that any of this was okay.

You kinda sound like a bot. I didn't ask any questions

[–] [email protected] -3 points 2 days ago

You did make claims.

I'm not saying area was not bombarded. I'm saying the election of that specific picture, time of day without shadows and just after a sandstorm, is made on purpose to exaggerate.
