Israel: "We've dropped an absolutely unbelievable amount of high explosive and incendiary munitions on civilian targets, more in three months than the US used across the entire war in Iraq, and half of it unguided bombs, but don't worry, every single person we hit was a terrorist. Because we're the Most Moral Military In The World."

Israel has reportedly dropped more than 65,000 tons of bombs and missiles on the Gaza Strip since 7 October, Gaza’s Government Media Office (GMO) reported on 4 January.

The report states: “Occupation aircraft dropped over 45,000 missiles and giant bombs, some of them weighing two thousand pounds of explosives, during the comprehensive genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, deliberately targeting entire residential areas."

It added that the weight of explosives dropped by the Israeli army “exceeded 65,000 tons, which is more than the weight and power of three nuclear bombs like those dropped [by the United States] on the Japanese city of Hiroshima [in 1945].”

Over 24,200 Palestinians have been killed as a result of Israel's ethnic cleansing campaign, most of whom were women and children.

"Two-thirds of the bombs and missiles are unguided and imprecise, commonly known as dumb bombs," the GMO report says.

“Dumb bombs,” formally known as unguided missiles, are usually less precise and kill more significant numbers of civilians, especially in densely populated areas like Gaza.
