🇵🇸 Gaza bombing nears WW2 bombardment of Germany

Did you know in less than seven weeks, the damage wrought on northern Gaza by Israeli bombs almost equals the years-long carpet bombing of German cities during World War 2?

A recent article by the Financial Times investigated the kinds of bombs used by the Israeli Defence Force, and the intensity that they have been raining down upon Gaza, killing at least 17,000 Palestinians.

Robert Pape, a US military historian, a professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago, and author of ‘Bombing to Win’, a survey of 20th century bombing techniques, told Middle East Eye that Israel’s bombardment of Gaza would go down as one of the heaviest conventional bombings without nuclear weapons.

🇵🇸 Nearly Half of All Israeli Munitions Dropped on Gaza are Imprecise 'Dumb' Bombs

Nearly half of the air-to-ground munitions Israel has dropped on the Gaza Strip are unguided or “dumb” bombs, CNN reported Thursday, citing a US intelligence assessment.

The report said Israel had used 29,000 air-to-ground munitions in its bombardment of Gaza, a total that does not include artillery shells and tank munitions that are also being fired on the Strip. The assessment from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence found 40-45% of the 29,000 munitions have been dumb bombs, and the rest have been precise guided munitions.

#UnguidedMunitions are less precise and are generally considered more of a threat to civilians, but Israel is also slaughtering civilians with precision-guided #munitions. A report from +972 Magazine revealed Israel is purposefully targeting civilian areas and launching strikes that might kill one Hamas commander, knowing hundreds of civilians will be killed.

Sky's Middle East correspondent, Alistair Bunkall, said it is unclear why the area was attacked and that people had been told Rafah was safe.

🇵🇸 Desperation in Gaza: Palestinians face dire humanitarian crisis

Top UN human rights expert has accused Israel of breaking international law with its relentless bombardment of Gaza. Francesca Albanese says Israel's right to self defence doesn't allow it to ignore the rules of proportionality and ensure protection of civilians. Despite those condemnations, Israel's attacks in Gaza continue unabated. More than 24,620 Palestinians have now been killed. Israel is bombing are-as around southern Gaza's largest hospital all that while a communications blackout across the strip continues for a week.

Al Jazeera’s Katia Lopez-Hodoyan reports.
