The Israeli military has kept up its bombing campaign in Gaza, ordering civilians to flee

The Israeli military campaign in Gaza is now considered among the deadliest and most destructive in recent history.

In just over two months, researchers say the offensive has wreaked more destruction than the razing of Syria’s Aleppo between 2012 and 2016, Ukraine’s Mariupol or, proportionally, the Allied bombing of Germany in World War II.

The Israeli military has said little about what kinds of bombs and artillery it is using in Gaza. But from blast fragments found on-site and analyses of strike footage, experts are confident that the vast majority of bombs dropped on the besieged enclave are U.S.-made.

They say the weapons include 2,000-pound (900-kilogram) “bunker-busters” that have killed hundreds in densely populated areas⁴.

Israel’s offensive has likely either damaged or destroyed over two-thirds of all structures in northern Gaza and a quarter of buildings in the southern area of Khan Younis.

That includes tens of thousands of homes as well as schools, hospitals, mosques, and stores.

U.N. monitors have said that about 70% of school buildings across Gaza have been damaged.

The Israeli military has ordered civilians to evacuate, but many have nowhere to go⁴. The international community is calling for a cease-fire.
