I believe you might mean ‘ bomber wing ‘ of B-52’s

The US should also offer Israel use and access to Diego Garcia Is. as a forward air base .
The idea of the B-52 is primarily deterrence . If any nation
( except North Vietnam) thinks it’s adversary has the capacity to carpet bomb them from 40,000 ft. they may think again about aggressive behaviors . Especially when accompanied by modern electronic warfare aspects and counter anti-aircraft tactical air cover .

Imagine a formation of 20+ BUFF’s with Stars of David on their wings and tails ....

One B-52 is enough to do the job over Gaza.
Actually, if the IDF wanted to end this conflict, they could do it in 15 minutes with the available F-15s and F-16s...problem is, 2,543 dead within that time frame. HAMAS is using them all as human shields like every proper Arab regime. If, say Israel bombed them anyway, then they'd stop listening to HAMAS but, alas, it's all politics - Israel is forbidden to win decisively.
