image for US intel details Israel's widespread use of ‘dumb bombs’ in Gaza

Unguided munitions, due to their lack of precision, pose a significant threat to civilians, especially in densely populated areas like Gaza.

The high rate of usage of these "dumb bombs" by Israel may be contributing to the escalating civilian death toll in the region.

On Tuesday, U.S. President Joe Biden accused Israel of engaging in "indiscriminate bombing" in Gaza.

When asked for comment on the assessment, IDF spokesperson Nir Dinar declined to address the type of munitions used.

Talking to CNN he highlighted the significant civilian harm by the lack of accuracy in the use of these weapons.

The discussions will focus on efforts to be more precise in military operations and reduce harm to civilians. »
