Israel employs unguided bombs in its strikes on the Gaza Strip, which lack the ability to differentiate between civilian and military targets, causing extensive destruction.

Photographs released by the Israeli Air Force confirm the use of unguided M117 bombs in deadly attacks on the Gaza Strip.

The conflict in Gaza, under Israeli bombardment and blockade since Oct. 7, began when Hamas initiated Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, a multi-pronged surprise attack that included a barrage of rocket launches and infiltrations into Israel by land, sea, and air. It said the incursion was in retaliation for the storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and growing violence by Israeli settlers.

The Israeli military then launched Operation Swords of Iron against Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip.

Gaza is experiencing a dire humanitarian crisis with no electricity, while water, food, fuel, and medical supplies are running out.
