Israel Drops 70,000 tons of Explosives on Gaza

Israel has dropped more than 70,000 tons of explosives on the Gaza Strip between 7 October and 24 April according to the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor.

The 70,000 tons of explosives are trending on the social media. One writes the “the carbon footprint and the scale of genocide are beyond any horror witnessed.”

Historical figures are revealing. The nuclear bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were about 15,000 tons of explosives.

What is revealing and devastating the bombs dropped on the enclave surpass those dropped on Dresden, Hamburg and London during World War II, the Monitor pointed out.

One points out the 70,000 tons that landed basically on all Gaza, from the north to the south and from the east to the west and the center of the enclave in the past eight months are roughly the equivalent to about 4.67 atomic bombs of the size dropped on Hiroshima.

The total number of bombs dropped by the German and the allies on each other was only 30,700 tons for the whole duration of WWII between 1939 and 1945.

The Germans on London 18,300 tons of explosives between 1940 and 1941. This is whilst historical records show the allies dropped 3,900 tons of TNT on the city of Dresden in German.

Another blogger suggests Gaza, an area of 364 kilometers is “five times smaller than the size of London,” and “how can anybody not call this kind of bombing other than ethnic cleansing.”

‘Palestine Convoy’ Arrives in Turkey Onwards…

The “Palestine Convoy,” which set off from Srebrenica in Bosnia and Herzegovina, arrived in the Turkish capital, Ankara, after crossing Albania and Greece and passing through Istanbul, as part of its solidarity journey with the Palestinian people.

The convoy, comprised of buses and cars, includes more than 500 activists from 20 countries. It arrived in the Kahramankazan district on Monday evening.

The convoy then proceeded from the Grand Mosque to the Ulus district of Ankara, accompanied by members of a civil society organization called the “Ankara Platform for Solidarity with Palestine.” Participants waved both Turkish and Palestinian flags.

A crowd of locals welcomed the convoy, chanting slogans such as: “Greetings to Gaza… the resistance continues,” “Free Palestine from the river to the sea,” and “Don’t remain silent… don’t be complicit in injustice.”

Alp Arslan Aydar, spokesperson for the Ankara Platform for Solidarity with Palestine, thanked all those who supported the convoy.

Aydar stated that Palestine is subjected to “systematic terrorism and expansionist policies practiced by Israel.”

He continued, “The Israeli regime today is an occupying power, not a legitimate state, and it does not belong to this land. Since October 7, 2023, this systematic terrorism has transformed into genocide, while the international community has merely stood by and watched.”

The “Palestine Convoy” is scheduled to continue its journey tomorrow to Konya Province, before proceeding towards the West Bank.

On October 8, 2023, Israel launched a genocidal war on Gaza, resulting in the deaths of more than 73,000 Palestinians and injuries to over 174,000, most of whom are children and women. Ninety percent of the infrastructure has been destroyed.

A ceasefire agreement was reached in October 2025, two years after the start of the genocide. However, Israel continues its daily violations of the agreement, resulting in the deaths of 1,250 Palestinians and injuries to 4,110 others as of Monday. Anadolu
