The airports with green dots are still open during the airspace closure but with restrictions. One is Buochs, the other is a REGA Base in the no fly zone. And in two sectors, some airfields have gotten special procedures to be able to operate.
I understand how you could get the numbers for the past conflicts (and to some degree in Ukraine), but how do you find the numbers for Gaza, other than from Hamas?
@arj1 maybe you’ve heard about organization called UN; they still exist and from time to time they are trying to do something. So, more than 35.000 deaths is UN’s number, out of that more than 15.000 children. Israel’s estimates of Palestinian death toll are bit lower but still horrible: 14.000 soldiers and 16.000 civilians.
Well the obvious comment on that last bit (Hamas) is totally for the politics thread, and would include the word “dumb”.

@Emir, got it!
An excellent BBC documentary, Ukraine: enemy in the woods, filmed in November 2023. It follows the men holding 500m of the 1,500km front line, in the middle of a forest in eastern Ukraine, which includes a key railway line. It’s composed of mostly bodycam footage and interviews, plus some drone video. They are on a 3 day rotation between a house, and frontline dugouts (a trench covered with pine trunks and earth) where they repel daily attacks. It’s very disorienting in the trees: the Russians can get as close as 30m without being seen, and it only takes a moment’s distraction to get lost. The worst fighting has been cut, but there’s still a fair amount of blood and death; oddly, by contrast, the drone footage is removed and dispassionate.
