  • Israel said it dropped 6,000 bombs on the Gaza Strip during the first six days of war with Hamas.
  • That's more bombs than the US-led coalition dropped in any month during the fight against ISIS. 
  • Allied forces dropped 5,000 bombs in August 2017 — at the peak of their air campaign.

Israel has been at war with Hamas for less than a week, and its forces are already expending a massive amount of ordnance.
