Israeli Forces Use 50mm Ammunition to Destroy Buildings in Gaza
The Israeli military is deploying 50mm caliber rounds to finish off damaged buildings in Gaza, intensifying urban destruction as part of its military strategy.
How It Works
- After airstrikes and artillery shelling, the IDF uses 50mm rounds to bring down structures completely, ensuring no hiding spots remain.
- These precision strikes target buildings that Israel claims are used as weapons depots, tunnel entrances, or militant positions.
- Widespread destruction makes civilian return impossible, even if hostilities end.
Why It Matters
- Total destruction tactics are driving a worsening humanitarian crisis, with residential areas, schools, and hospitals reduced to rubble.
- UN officials and human rights organizations are condemning Israel’s excessive use of force, citing high civilian casualties.
- Despite international calls for a ceasefire, Israel continues its military campaign, arguing that Hamas must be eliminated entirely.
What’s Next?
- The IDF is expanding its offensive, especially in southern Gaza.
- More destruction is expected, as Israel shows no signs of de-escalation.
- The future of Gaza remains uncertain—rebuilding the region would require billions in aid, and its post-war status is yet to be determined.
