"Experts Criticize Israel's Use of US-Made Munitions in Gaza Tent Fire"

TL;DR Summary
Defense experts have criticized Israel for using U.S.-made 250-pound bombs in a Gaza airstrike that killed 45 displaced Palestinians, suggesting smaller, more precise weapons could have minimized civilian casualties. The strike targeted Hamas operatives but ignited a deadly fire in a nearby tent camp. Israel claims the attack was outside a declared humanitarian zone and used the smallest munitions available, but experts argue even these bombs are too large for densely populated areas. The U.S. is awaiting an investigation into the incident.
