The Devastating Toll: Israel's Bombardment of Gaza Leaves Historic Casualties

Israel's use of large, US-made bombs in Gaza is contributing to a high death toll, surpassing some of the deadliest conflicts in recent memory. The use of 2,000-pound bombs in densely populated areas has resulted in a significant number of civilian casualties. While the exact number is difficult to determine, the reported death toll of 10,000 women and children is believed to be a conservative estimate. Experts compare the scale of the attacks to Vietnam or World War II. Israel acknowledges civilian deaths but disputes the reported death toll, emphasizing its focus on targeting Hamas.
