Israel drops 6,000 bombs on Gaza since 7 October
The ordnance was dropped by "dozens of fighter jets and helicopters.”
The air force said they targeted Hamas command centres, military infrastructure, weapons production sites, rocket systems and intelligence assets, killing hundreds of militants.
"We will continue to attack forcefully and relentlessly, as long as necessary," it added.
“Israel is dropping in less than a week what the US was dropping in Afghanistan in a year, in a much smaller, much more densely populated area, where mistakes are going to be magnified,” said Marc Garlasco, a military adviser at the Dutch organization PAX for Peace and a former UN war crimes investigator in Libya.
The Israeli bombardment has devastated several neighbourhoods in Gaza, killing more than 1,500 Palestinians, nearly half of whom were women and children, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza.
