The United States has previously warned Israel that the powerful munitions can cause excessive civilian casualties in the densely populated Gaza Strip, and suspended exporting U.S.-made 2,000-pound bombs to Israel earlier this year.
Chris Cobb-Smith, a former British Army artillery officer, explained that the blast craters were broadly consistent with the use of 2,000-pound munitions, indicating that these weapons were likely deployed in the airstrike.
At least 19 people were killed in the blasts and over 60 others were injured, highlighting the severe impact of the airstrike on the densely populated civilian area.
