ALBAWABA - In a report made by Hebrew Newspaper Kol Ha'ir, Israel's ongoing aggression on Gaza since October 7 including the constant bombing has officially surpassed the amount of bombs dropped on Ukraine by Russia in two years. 

In addition, the bombing of the Gaza Strip has even exceeded the amount employed by Adolf Hitler during World War ll. By the time of writing this article, The IOF (Israeli Offensive Forces) had resulted in the killing of more than 26,000 Palestinians including children and the elderly.

Moreover, more than 60,000 are currently injured with little to no proper medical supplies and space to treat them, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza. 

Wall Street Journal reported on December 2023 that around 29,000 bombs had been dropped on Gaza and left most people with no homes to come back to as 300,000 out of 439,000 have been destroyed. Take in mind that Gaza also has one of the highest populations in the world with around two million Palestinians on approximately 365 km2 of land.

A user on X (formerly known as Twitter) replied to the post embedded above and said: 

"The real question is this "Could the zionist colony drop this amount of bombs without the shipment and military help from the US?  I think sane people know the answer." 

South Africa's historic case accusing Israel of "genocidal acts" on Gaza has resulted in multiple court hearings at the ICJ (International Court of Justice) with one hearing for South Africa and the other for Israel. 

ICJ then later announced emergency measures against Israel in which the court ordered Israel to do anything in its power to prevent the "genocidal acts" on Gazans.

South Africa announced prosecuting Israel over genocidal doing in Gaza under the International Court of Justice, gaining endorsement from multiple countries across the world.

The first public hearings at the Peace Palace in the Hague took place on the 11 and 12 of January. South Africa argued that Israel violated its obligations under the Genocide Convention in its application to the ICJ.

They further argued that "acts and omissions by Israel … are genocidal in character, as they are committed with the requisite specific intent … to destroy Palestinians in Gaza".

South Africa provided the ICJ with extensive evidence of genocidal intent in various public statements by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Isaac Herzog, and other high-ranking officials in an 84-page complaint.
