[RFS_Br]

GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Bomb disposal experts in Gaza on Friday said that Israel had dropped the equivalent of six nuclear bombs on the tiny coastal enclave over the course of it's six-week assault, including many that the police say are internationally banned.

The explosives' engineering police of the Gaza Ministry of Interior said in a statement that Israel had dropped 20,000 tons of explosives on the 139 square mile (360 sq km) territory.

"Flechette shells, fuel-air bombs (which explode twice, including after impact), dime shells, and flechette shells saturated with uranium were fired at Gaza Strip," the statement added, stressing that the weapons "affect the environment, soil, and water and will affect the next generations by spreading diseases especially cancer."

The statement said that areas near the border like Khuzaa, eastern Rafah, Shujaiyya, eastern al-Mughazi, al-Bureij and Juhr al-Dik were hit with "the lion's share of Israeli shells and missiles."

The statement said that of the total number of explosive, 8,000 were dropped from warplanes, "killing entire families and crossing them out of the Palestinian civil register."

Drones, Apache, F15, F16 and "vertical" warplanes were used during the offensive, firing MK82, MK83 and MK84 shells.

The statement added that the Israeli artillery deployed in eastern Gaza City had fired high-explosive shells at homes and civilian property causing massive damage, especially in Rafah, Khan Younis, Shujaiyya and Beit Hanoun.

More than 60,000 artillery shells of different sizes were fired at Gaza.

During the assault, Gaza police bomb disposal experts said that engaged in 1731 different missions including treating explosive devices, suspicious devices. and vehicles, among other tasks.

Major Hazem Abu Murad, deputy head of the explosives engineering department, and Major Taysir al-Hum were killed while dismantling suspicious objects in northern Gaza Strip, the statement added.

According to the statement, Major Abu Murad was one of the most important experts and trainers in explosives engineering in Gaza.

Other engineering police members were killed or detained during the Israeli offensive on Gaza Strip, the statement added, without identifying them.

6 nuclear bombs and less than 2000 causalities.......Either these illiterates does not know what a nuclear weapon is or they think Israel does not have a proper nuclear bomb.

Stupidity rocks

Stupidity rocks

He's not talking about equivalent in nuclear material. He's talking about the amount of explosives. And 2,000 casualties is plenty within a month span.

He's no illiterate either you bigoted clown.

[EasyNow]

Sorry I think he's overstated it a bit too much. 8000 bombs is an incredible number in its self, no need to mention nuclear and undermine his own point.

 

[TruthSeeker]

Over the top exaggeration. But, what else could you expect from Hamas? Anything will be said to advance their "woe is me" narrative. The Israelis are sooooooooooooo mean! The truth and reason are totally unknown to Hamas ....

This section needs a moderator desperately. Look at this thread, if these anti-Palestinian(They hate Palestinians more than any other Muslims) aren't happy with this thread they should leave it alone. Instead they come here for mockery and complete repeated disregard towards people's lives unseen on any scale before.

Only the Palestinians get this kind of disregard from these odd 'multiple nationalities' which I doubt are multiple nationalities.
People that have this kind of disgust need at least a week long ban. They will learn a lesson, to either to stop trolling and if they repeat this disgusting disregard towards peoples lives and constant mockery of every human rights organizations reports on the crisis then ban them permanently.

I don't know why you tolerate some obvious trolls here. No one gets away with this kind of trolling on threads not related to Palestinians. But, when it comes to Palestinians these threads attract so many Jew worshippers.

6 Nukes!!!! that too in a small strip of Gaza!!!!!!!

 

[Hack-Hook]

well for 20kton of TNT it was better to call it equivalent of one nuclear bomb.

and about those casualties you say 2000 and then say that's little , well I don't what to call you guys but at least at to that the number of Injured ad how many lives destroyed just because of those injuries

if we compare it with the nukes that usa dropped on Japan , it can be consider as 2 nukes ...

The biggest troll here is Hazzy997. You are so hate-filled you can't think any more rationally than the idiots at the Maan News Agency who wrote the OP.

The title says the "Equivalent", so why stretch it beyond that and start talking about nuclear weapons, it is the tonnage that counts here; 20,000 tons of explosives on a 139 square mile (360 sq km) territory. that is big by all means and calculations, What they mean is, it is like dropping 6 tactical nuclear bombs of around 3 kt each on a relatively small area of land, densely populated.
It is awful and the results are the killing of mostly civilian people with no shelters and no means to hide or defend themselves, apart from some of their son's attempts to respond by home made rockets that irritate the occupiers and make them mad. Which is not even the intention, the real intention is to tell Usrael to end its occupation and blockade, since the Palestinians know that their sacrifices are aimed towards this end, and in one way or the other sometime somehow they will get their independence.
