"Israel" has dropped 65,000 tons of explosives and missiles on Gaza in three months, which outweighs and is more powerful than three nuclear bombs that the US dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima, a report by Gaza's Government Media Office revealed.

In more detail, the report said that the "occupation aircraft dropped over 45,000 missiles and giant bombs, some of them weighing two thousand pounds of explosives, during the comprehensive genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, deliberately targeting entire residential areas."

The deliberate targeting of civilians is further proven by the occupation's use of "dumb bombs"; i.e. imprecise and unguided bombs. 

Moreover, the occupation used at least nine types of internationally prohibited missiles in the Strip, including the repeated use of white phosphorus which has been intensely criticized and condemned.

Just this morning, the Resistance targeted IOF vehicles and soldier gatherings in Gaza. 

Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza reported that the Resistance engaged in intense confrontations with the occupation forces, who are attempting to advance on multiple fronts in the Gaza Strip, particularly in the central and southern regions, with confirmed reports of explosions sounding in various areas of the central governorate of the Gaza Strip.

The Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas movement, has confirmed the destruction of an Israeli Merkava tank east of al-Maghazi in the central Gaza Strip. Additionally, the Resistance fighters successfully detonated an explosive device targeting Israeli occupation forces stationed in a house north of the Nuseirat camp in the middle of the Gaza Strip.

Similarly, al-Qassam targeted a gathering of occupation vehicles and soldiers in al-Bureij refugee camp in the center of the Gaza Strip with heavy-caliber mortar shells. They also successfully detonated an anti-personnel device within an Israeli force stationed inside a building in the al-Mughraqa area in the center of the Gaza Strip. Furthermore, they confirmed the destruction of the forces assembled in the same area with mortar shells, according to the military media of the al-Qassam Brigades.
