Israel's military campaign against Hamas in Gaza has attracted worldwide attention and criticism for its use of unguided "dumb" bombs. Recent intelligence reports suggest that nearly half of the 29,000 air-to-ground munitions used in Gaza were unguided, equating to over 13,000 devastating strikes.
Israel's Controversial Tactics
Business Insider revealed that Israel has opted for unguided bombs, which lack precision guidance systems, leading to concerns over collateral damage and potential harm to civilians in Gaza. This controversial choice raises questions about the proportionality of force used in the conflict.
Global leaders and humanitarian organizations have expressed their apprehensions regarding the potential impact of Israel's use of unguided bombs.
Calls for an Immediate Ceasefire
According to The Washington Post, there are growing calls for an immediate ceasefire and an investigation into the consequences of these tactics on civilian populations.
The deployment of unguided bombs is seen as a departure from the more targeted precision strikes that have become common in modern warfare.
In retaliation, Israeli military spokesperson Maj. Karen Hajioff stated that the IDF remains committed to international law and minimizing harm to civilians forced into the role of human shields by Hamas.
However, critics argue that the scale of destruction raises doubts about Israel's adherence to protecting civilian lives. The IDF has not yet responded to the new US intelligence reports on the use of unguided bombs.
Israel's use of unguided "dumb" bombs in its strikes on Gaza has ignited international concern over civilian casualties and indiscriminate damage.
The extensive destruction caused by these weapons, as well as the potential for collateral damage from precision-guided bombs, has raised questions about Israel's commitment to protecting civilians and the necessity of such attacks.
As the world reacts to the ongoing conflict, calls for restraint and a focus on minimizing civilian harm grow louder.
