Since the start of the conflict, more than 200 cities have been hit by American and Israeli air strikes. Over 1,400 people have been killed, with many more wounded. And when it comes to the targets, it is not just military headquarters, police stations or government buildings – residential areas are being struck as well.
A considerable number of the sites hit are homes and apartments belonging to ordinary civilians. Schools, hospitals and even buildings belonging to the Red Crescent have all been targeted over the past three weeks.
