The IDF used an aerial bomb weighing about 230 kg of the MK-82 type — a powerful combat weapon with an especially extensive fragmentation spread — in the strike on a crowded cafe in Gaza City on Monday. This was claimed in an investigation published by the British Guardian, which analyzed ammunition fragments found at the scene of the strike. International law experts assessed that using such ammunition could be considered a violation of international law — and possibly even a war crime. According to Palestinian reports, 24 people were killed in the strike and dozens more were wounded. The IDF stated that it eliminated Hisham Ayman Mansour, a commander in Hamas's Jabaliya Battalion, in the strike.
