US Intelligence Assessment Reveals High Use of Imprecise Munitions in Israeli Attacks on Gaza

According to a US intelligence assessment, nearly half of the air-to-ground munitions used by Israel in its conflict with Hamas in Gaza since October 7 have been unguided "dumb bombs." These unguided munitions are less precise and pose a greater threat to civilians in the densely populated area. The use of these bombs may be contributing to the high civilian death toll. President Biden's comment about "indiscriminate bombing" by Israel has further strained US-Israeli relations. The US has urged Israel to be more precise in its targeting, but currently has no plans to condition military aid.
