According to Hamas political bureau member Osama Hamdan, "Israel" has dropped more than 35,000 tonnes of explosives on the Gaza Strip since October 7.

"Over 35,000 tonnes of explosives have already been dropped on Gaza, which means more than 1,000 tonnes are being dropped on Gaza every day," Hamdan told a press conference.

On October 24, The Palestinian government in Gaza reported that "Israel" had dropped more than 12,000 tonnes of explosives on besieged Gaza. This amount was already equivalent to the power of the nuclear bomb that the US dropped on Hiroshima in 1945.

"Israel" is using bombs with huge destructive power, some of which range from 150 kg to 1,000 kg, highlighting the statement of Israeli Security Minister Yoav Galant who admitted that more than 10,000 bombs were dropped on Gaza City alone.

Yesterday, Israeli 'Heritage' Minister Amihai Eliyahu made controversial statements in an interview broadcast on Israeli radio, suggesting that the option of using a nuclear bomb on the Gaza Strip was on the table.

He expressed opposition to providing humanitarian aid to Gaza and advocated for the Israeli occupation to regain control of Gaza. He denied the right of existence to the northern Gaza Strip and suggested that Palestinians should go to Ireland or deserts for a solution. 

The matter was later brought forth by Syria and Iran who both called on the UN and the international community for the nuclear disarmament of "Israel."

Earlier today, the Palestinian Health Ministry reported that the Israeli aggression on Gaza has thus far martyred 10,022 people, including 4,104 children.
