- Israel said it dropped 6,000 bombs on the Gaza Strip during the first six days of war with Hamas.
- That’s more bombs than the US-led coalition dropped in any month during the fight against ISIS.
- Allied forces dropped 5,000 bombs in August 2017 — at the peak of their air campaign.
Israel has been at war with Hamas for less than a week, and its forces are already expending a massive amount of ordnance.
In just six days, Israeli fighter jets dropped more bombs on the Gaza Strip than the US-led coalition dropped in any month of its fight against the Islamic State, even during the height of the multi-national air campaign against the terror group.
Israel began its aerial bombardment of Gaza on Saturday immediately after Hamas militants launched a series of surprise terror attacks against the country, killing at least 1,300 people — mostly civilians — and injuring over 3,200 more. The group also took an estimated 150 people hostage.
