Overview
- Nearly half of the munitions Israel has used in Gaza since the war began have been unguided bombs, a U.S. intelligence assessment has found.
- The Israel Defense Forces has fired more than 29,000 air-to-ground munitions into the Palestinian enclave since Oct. 7, and only 55 to 60 percent of them have been precision-guided.
- Nearly 18,800 people have been killed and almost 51,000 wounded in Gaza over the past two months, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
- The Biden administration has thus far rejected calls for conditioning any further military aid to Israel on the immediate reduction of civilian deaths.
- The administration considers the level of civilian casualties unacceptably high and has implored the Israelis to take greater caution.
