In a devastating display of firepower, Israeli forces have unleashed a barrage of 2,000-pound bombs on the Gaza Strip during the ongoing conflict. The sheer magnitude of destruction caused by these bombs is overwhelming, leaving no doubt about the extent of the Israeli bombardment. The Chief International Investigator of Correspondence has brought forth a report that includes distressing images, warning readers about their explicit nature.
The aftermath of numerous Israeli airstrikes is hauntingly familiar, with scenes of utter destruction etched into the landscape. Most recently, the Jabalia refugee camp, one of Gaza's most densely populated residential areas, bore the brunt of an Israeli bomb attack in late October. The bombs used in these attacks, likely of American origin, are at least four times more powerful than those employed by the United States in its fight against ISIS.
With the density of Gaza's population, the human toll inflicted by these bombings is incomparable. Entire families have been decimated in moments, falling victim to the immense power of these devastating bombs. The Jabalia refugee camp stands as one of the focal points of Israel's relentless bombing campaign.
To grasp the magnitude of destruction in Gaza, one must view it from above. Collaborating with artificial intelligence company Synthetic, an analysis conducted by - located over 1,900 craters left behind by the bombardment in just the first month of the war. Using sophisticated AI technology, the diameter of these craters was assessed, uncovering that more than 500 of them were consistent with the dimensions of American-made 2,000-pound bombs employed by the Israeli Air Force.
Covering the period up until November 6th, our analysis reveals that a staggering 10,000 people are believed to have lost their lives. Shockingly, senior Middle East diplomats from the United States have indicated that this number could be even higher. The U.S., however, continues to support Israel's relentless bombardment of Gaza.
Understanding the astronomically high death toll necessitates looking beyond just the point of impact. The craters caused by these 2,000-pound bombs have the potential to create a kill zone spreading up to 365 meters, equivalent to an area approximately the size of 60 soccer pitches or 90 American football fields. In contrast, the Israeli Defense Forces claim that they adhere to international law and take feasible precautions to minimize civilian casualties, contrasting the intentional attacks on Israeli civilians by Hamas.
Nonetheless, a closer examination of the main coastal road north of the Shati refugee camp reveals at least nine craters consistent with the impact of 2,000-pound bombs. This suggests that the potential kill zone could extend to cover the entire neighborhood, further illustrating the indiscriminate nature of such bombings.
Through the analysis conducted by - in collaboration with Synthetic, the extensive scale of the bombardment inflicted upon Gaza becomes apparent. In an area as densely populated as Gaza, the utilization of these powerful bombs inherently results in indiscriminate harm. Tragically, the human cost continues to skyrocket, surpassing a staggering 20,000 lives lost. Many of the deceased remain buried under the rubble, with no sign of an end to this devastating conflict in sight.
