An Israeli official has acknowledged that the country’s military used inappropriate munitions during an attack on the Maghazi refugee camp that killed at least 90 people earlier this week, Al Jazeera reports.

The official said that Israel’s military would investigate what happened.

Al Jazeera looks at some of the weapons that have been used in Israel’s “indiscriminate” bombardment of the Gaza Strip such as dumb bombs, bunker buster bombs and more.
