Sky News analysis identifies American-made bomb at Gaza school strike

Overnight, Israeli forces targeted a school in Nuseirat, a town in the central Gaza Strip. In a statement given on 6 June, officials at the Hamas-run Gaza Government Media Office said 40 people are confirmed to have been killed. According to the same officials, 14 of the dead are children. They said a further 23 children were wounded in the strike.

” Former US Army explosive ordnance disposal technician Trevor Ball also concluded the fragment was from a GBU-39, telling Sky News, the bomb “has a very distinct solid nose section of the bomb body that gives the munition its capability to penetrate concrete structures”. Ball confirmed the damage visible at the scene was consistent with the use of this weapon. The GBU-39 is a guided glide bomb deployed by aircraft. GPS-assisted, it is designed to facilitate precise, targeted attacks.
