The American Wall Street Journal likened the devastation caused by the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip to what happened in Germany during World War II (1939-1945).

The newspaper noted, in a report, that most of Gaza’s 36 hospitals are out of service, “and only 8 health centers remain providing their services to the population.”

It explained that "Byzantine-era churches, historic mosques, factories, buildings, schools, hotels, shopping centers, and electricity and water sources were subjected to irreparable damage in Gaza."

The newspaper stressed that "nearly 85 percent of Gaza's population (2.3 million) were forced to leave their homes, and that more than 21,000 people in the Strip were killed in the Israeli aggression."

It said, "The Gaza Strip is exposed to a situation similar to the devastation that Germany witnessed during World War II."

The Wall Street Journal quoted Robert Pabb, professor of political science at the University of Chicago and author of a book on the history of aerial bombing, as saying, “Gaza will go down in history along with the (German) city of Dresden and other famous cities that were bombed during World War II.” .

The newspaper quoted a World Bank report, published on December 12, in which it stated that “77 percent of health facilities, 72 percent of public buildings and areas such as parks, courts, and libraries, 68 percent of communications infrastructure, and almost the entire industrial area were also destroyed as a result of Israeli aggression.

The Wall Street Journal noted, “The United States dropped 3,678 bombs on Iraq between 2004 and 2010, while Israel dropped nearly 29,000 bombs on Gaza since October 7.”

While conflict expert Carolyn Sands, from Kingston University in London, stated that “the reconstruction of Gaza may take decades in the best scenarios,” according to the American newspaper.

In an infinite toll, the toll of the ongoing Israeli aggression against Gaza by land, sea and air since the seventh of last October has risen to more than 21,650 dead and about 56,000 injured, in addition to thousands of missing persons, 70% of whom are children and women.
