After thinking about it for a bit, I've updated my military theory reading list.
I'm now including Huntington's Soldier and the State—despite its many shortcomings—as it's essentially the urtext of modern civil-military relations as well as Walzer's look at Just War theory.

Cannot stress enough that absolutely no military on Earth is capable of maintaining any sort of dynamic targeting capacity that could lead to expending 6,000 munitions in an urban environment. It’s very evidently revenge bombing. There’s no point pretending otherwise.
6,000 bombs into Gaza in 6 days.
For comparison, during the air campaign against ISIS in 2014-19, the US-led coalition dropped 2,000-5,000 munitions per *month* across all of Iraq and Syria.
US monthly bomb drops only exceeded 4,000 during the 2017 destruction of Raqqa.
