Description

Dr Andreas Krieg, a war expert at King's College London, said: "The first narrative they want to push out, towards the domestic audience, is 'We're winning'.

"The number two message is one of deterrence, which is aimed at Hamas, Iran [and] Hezbollah... to say, if you attack us, this is what will happen to you."

But Dr Krieg says the volume of footage sends a message of its own.

"They might be targeted strikes," he says. "But the cumulative effect... is the near complete destruction of the entire physical infrastructure of Gaza."
