Israel Drops More than 18000 Tons of Bombs on Gaza

Gaza – The Israeli army has dropped 18,000 tons of bombs on the Gaza Strip since October 7, or about 1.5 times the explosive force of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan in World War II, according to officials in the besieged enclave.

Head of the government's media office, Salama Marouf stated Israeli forces have also destroyed 85 government building in Gaza. 

"In Gaza, Israel has demolished 47 mosques and inflicted significant harm to three churches. The attacks have resulted in over 200,000 damaged buildings, with 32,500 of them rendered uninhabitable, 203 schools have sustained major damage, and 45 schools are now completely non-operational. Due to the intensity of the attacks, statistics are not yet complete," Marouf explained, when speaking to the Press, as sourced from Anadolu Ajansi site. 

Under the Geneva Convention, attacks on houses of worship and schools and other civilian structures are prohibited. Israel has claimed militants are taking shelter in or around these buildings.

"The Israeli army massacred 908 families, causing the death of thousands of people," Marouf added.

Marouf also mentoned: "A total of 35 journalists, 124 healthcare workers, and 18 civil defense personnel from emergency rescue teams have also been killed in the attacks," 

More than 10,300 people have been killed in this conflict, including at least 8,796 Palestinians and more than 1,538 Israelis. 

In addition to the casualties and displacement, the supply of basic necessities for the 2.3 million people in Gaza is dwindling due to the Israeli siege.
