Thousands of unexploded munitions fired by the Israeli army have remained scattered across Gaza since October 7, 2023, Anadolu reports citing Israeli media.

Quoting unnamed senior officers late on Friday, Israel’s Channel 12 reported that the Israeli army recently launched an investigation to determine whether Palestinians used unexploded munitions to manufacture an improvised explosive device (IED) that killed three Israeli soldiers in northern Gaza last week.

According to the report, the Israeli army has fired tens of thousands of munitions into Gaza, with the air force alone dropping approximately 30,000 bombs since fighting began.

“Thousands of bombs dropped by Israeli aircraft in Gaza did not detonate, including some weighing a ton,” Channel 12 noted.
