Geoff Bennett:

Israel has launched over 22,000 military strikes into Gaza since the Hamas terrorist attacks of October 7, with a death toll of more than 18,000. That's according to the Gaza Health Ministry. A recent investigative report finds that Israel is deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure in Gaza, with the goal of ramping up civilian pressure on Hamas.

That's one of the many takeaways in reporting by the independent nonpartisan Israeli publication "+972" magazine and the Hebrew-language outlet Local Call. It also includes interviews with several current and former sources in Israel's intelligence community.

The lead reporter, investigative journalist Yuval Abraham, joins us now from Jerusalem.

Thank you for being with us.

Your reporting focuses on how the IDF selects military targets and how it determines the number of civilian deaths that are acceptable. What did you find?
