TL;DR Summary

Reports indicate that 40 to 45 percent of the bombs dropped by Israel in Gaza are unguided, or "dumb" bombs, which have a higher margin of error compared to precision-guided munitions. Military experts have differing opinions on the use of unguided bombs, with one arguing that they can still be accurate in certain circumstances, while another expresses concern over the high number of unguided bombs being dropped in densely populated areas. The expert also highlights the availability of precision-guided munitions and questions why they are not being used more extensively. The issue of civilian casualties and harm mitigation is also raised, with one expert emphasizing the stringent rules followed by the Israeli Defense Force to avoid collateral damage.
