For the past month, death and destruction have reigned on both sides of the border separating Israel and the Gaza Strip.
Grief is in the tears of Israelis burying the 1,400 people — mostly civilians — slain by Hamas militants who stormed into Israel on October 7.
It is in the anguished screams of Palestinians as the bodies of some of the more than 10,000 people reportedly killed by Israeli airstrikes — 40 per cent of them children — are pulled from the wreckage of shattered homes.
Early scenes of Palestinian men raising their arms in victory atop an Israeli tank set ablaze during the raid quickly give way to ones of devastation: whole blocks of Gaza reduced to black-and-white wastelands as relentless missile strikes light up the night sky in balls of flame and glowing clouds of smoke.
