UN special rapporteur on human rights in the Palestinian territory Francesca Albanese has said that 25,000 tonnes of explosives have been dropped on Gaza, “largely identified as targets by artificial intelligence [AI]”, reports Al Jazeera.
Albanese added that 250 people were killed per day during the first weeks of Israel’s assault on the Gaza Strip when she says 2,000-pound “bunker buster bombs” were “launched on densely populated areas”.
Albanese made the comments after Israel’s ambassador to the United Kingdom, Tzipi Hotovely, told the UK broadcaster Sky News to “just imagine how things would have looked” if a huge missile fell “in the middle of a city like Jerusalem”.
“Just think about it hitting neighbourhoods and people and children,” Hotovely said.
Hotovely made the comments in an interview about the missiles and drones Iran launched on Israel on Saturday night, which she acknowledged caused “barely no damage”.
