Drone footage captured by The Associated Press shows mounds of rubble stretching as far as the eye can see.

Drone footage captures the aftermath of the longest and deadliest war between Israel and Hamas in their blood-ridden history.

Critics say Israel has waged a campaign of scorched earth to destroy the fabric of life in Gaza , accusations that are being considered in two global courts.

Israel denies those charges and says its military has been fighting a complex battle in dense urban areas.

The way Israel has repeatedly returned to areas it said were under its control, only to have militants overrun it again, has exacerbated the destruction.

Israel also carved out a buffer zone about a kilometer inside Gaza from its border with Israel .

The destruction, like the civilian death toll in Gaza , has raised accusations that Israel committed war crimes, which it denies.
