An investigation by +972 Magazine and Local Call reveals that Israeli military officials authorized bombings of residential blocks in Gaza as a response to their inability to locate exact targets. This strategy involved extensive use of powerful bombs, resulting in significant civilian casualties and highlighting a blatant disregard for international law. Human rights experts argue that this approach constitutes a violation of wartime laws, emphasizing that the presence of military targets does not exempt Israel from its responsibility to protect civilians during conflict.
This strategy, used to "compensate for the army's inability to pinpoint targets," led to some of the most deadly strikes of the genocide.
Human rights experts have long said that Israel's use of 2,000-pound bombs on densely populated areas in Gaza likely violates international laws regarding proportionality.
An investigation found that Israeli military officials employed a strategy of bombarding residential blocks when they couldn't find Hamas or other military targets.
There is a linkage between every single bomb that is dropped in Gaza and the U.S., one former official said.
