Buildings reduced to rubble. Bags with bodies in the streets. The roar of sirens and the whistle of rockets.
As the latest conflict between Israel and the Palestinians entered its fourth day, the region was plagued by scenes of an escalating offensive and the painful results of the conflict.
Soldiers from both sides were getting ready and taking up positions, and the impact of the weekend attacks became clearer. Mourners carried flag-draped coffins as funeral processions spread across the region.
Images of devastation — from windows pierced by bullets to neighborhoods destroyed by blasts — mounted along with the death toll.
The war brought with it an incessant series of events: Hostage taking. Dead children. Shootings. Border closures.
The first days of the conflict have left more than 1,800 dead on both sides. And as fear grows regarding what might happen next, one thing seemed clear: That number will increase.
