The Gaza war probably will not cause a huge regional conflagration but instead will weaken all the major actors.

According to UNOCHA, Israel has killed 23,074 Palestinians including 10,000 children in Gaza, between 7 October 23 and 7 January 24, an average of 250.8 per day

In a document of over 80 pages – which makes for very grim reading – an exhaustive legal case compiled by South Africa and presented to the ICJ is elaborated against Israel's vicious war on Gaza.
