Israel dropped ‘equivalent to two nuclear bombs’ on Gaza: Rights group

The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor has said in a press release on Thursday (November 2) that Israel has dropped more than 25,000 tonnes of explosives on the Gaza strip since it began the large-scale bombing in retaliation for Hamas’ October 7 attacks.

The rights group said that Israel has admitted to bombing over 12,000 targets in the Gaza strip.

Euro-Med Monitor said that the destructive power of the explosives dropped on Gaza could exceed that of the nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

The human rights group also claims that Israel has used internationally-banned weapons like cluster and phosphorous bombs, which can cause severe fatal burns.
