The Israeli Air Force on Thursday (Oct 12) said that so far they have dropped 6,000 bombs over the Hamas targets and more than 3,600 targets have been hit in the airstrikes, The Washington Post reported.&nbsp;

As per some experts in warfare, it is a staggering number and accounts for the past six days alone.

“Israel is dropping in less than a week what the US was dropping in Afghanistan in a year, in a much smaller, much more densely populated area, where mistakes are going to be magnified,” said Marc Garlasco, a former UN war crimes investigator in Libya and a military adviser at the Dutch organisation PAX for Peace, while speaking to The Washington Post.&nbsp;

Garlasco, while citing the public records from US Air Forces Central Command, said that the United States had dropped just over 7,423 bombs on Afghanistan in a span of one year. This was one of the highest number of bombs dropped in a war. As per a United Nations report, more than 7,600 bombs and missiles were reportedly dropped by NATO from planes during the entire war in Libya.&nbsp;

<h2>Israeli Air Force identifies multiple targets in short duration</h2>

In 2003, when the US invaded Iraq, around 30,000 bombs were dropped, stated Garlasco, who was a targeteer for the Pentagon and had worked in planning the strikes in Iraq.

Garlasco further recalled that around 8,000 bombs were dropped by the United States on the biggest night of the invasion.&nbsp;

“I’m kind of shocked that they were able to identify so many targets in such a short period of time,” said Garlasco, while speaking about Israel.

Garlasco stated that the Israeli Air Force reportedly has some of the most precise weapons.&nbsp;

“I hope they are taking all of the necessary precautions. But I am concerned this number speaks to a level of activity that may indicate that they’re not," he said.&nbsp;

In a heart-warming development, a woman has been rescued alive from the rubble of a building collapsed around six days ago in central China, state media reported on Thursday. &nbsp;

Call it sheer luck or will power, the unidentified woman has become the 10th survivor in the mishap, where the building had collapsed partially, media reports said. &nbsp;&nbsp;

In the disaster, at least 53 people have died. An unknown number of people, possibly dozens, are still missing or under the rubble. The incident took place in the city of Changsha. &nbsp;
