> According to the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, Israel has dropped more than 25,000 tonnes of explosives on the Gaza Strip since October 7, equivalent to two nuclear bombs. In comparison, the Little Boy nuclear bomb dropped by the United States on Hiroshima during World War II yielded 15,000 tonnes of high explosives and destroyed everything within a one-mile (1.6km) radius. That's a insane amount of ordnance. Even putting humanitarian disaster concerns aside, can this be considered good military strategy? The weapons market was already strained by the Russia-Ukraine war, so wasting nearly 30 kilotons of explosives to level some ghetto doesn't sound very wise, when a country is not in good terms with other neighbors that pose a far greater threat.
