CNN —The United States paused a shipment of bombs to Israel amid concerns over their potential use in a Rafah incursion, according to a US official. The shipment, which was held back last week, includes 1,800 bombs weighing 2,000 pounds and 1,700 bombs weighing 500 pounds. CNN reported over the weekend that one shipment of ammunition to Israel had been paused, but the reason was unclear. On Monday, Israel carried out what the US described as a “limited” operation in Rafah, taking over the border crossing with Egypt that is a vital lifeline for humanitarian aid. “We have not made a final determination on how to proceed with this shipment,” the official said.

Most of the bombs Israel is using in Gaza are exceptionally big, weighing 1,000 to 2,000 pounds. The use of such large bombs on such a small area might only compare to Vietnam or World War II, an analyst said. He said that to find a historical comparison for so many large bombs being used on such a small area, we may "have to go back to Vietnam, or the Second World War."

"They are using extremely large weapons in extremely densely populated areas," Castner said.

Israel's use of US-made bombs is contributing to high Palestinian civilian casualties, experts say. AdvertisementIsrael's use of large, American-made bombs is contributing to the massive death toll in Gaza, passing some of the deadliest conflicts in recent memory. The massive scale of Israel's attacks along with the use of large, US-made bombs in dense, urban areas have contributed to the massive death toll, according to the report. AdvertisementThe Gaza Health Ministry's most recent death toll released on November 10 included 11,078 deaths, according to the Associated Press . Israel's military did not provide a casualty count of its own, but denied targeting civilians, the newspaper said.

A Hamas spokesman denied that a commander had been in the targeted area. The Jabaliya camp is in northern Gaza, an area for which the Israeli military has issued evacuation orders. “Giving warning does not absolve parties from the requirement to protect civilians,” said Omar Shakir, the Israel and Palestine director for Human Rights Watch. Experts say that Israel’s bombardment of densely populated areas raises concerns under international humanitarian law. “International law prohibits attacks in which the expected harm to civilians and civilian properties is disproportionate to the anticipated military gain,” Mr. Shakir said.

But CNN’s analysis suggests that a rocket launched from within Gaza broke up midair, and that the blast at the hospital was the result of part of the rocket landing at the hospital complex. All agreed that the available evidence of the damage at the site was not consistent with an Israeli airstrike. In the past few days, a number of outlets have published investigations into the Al-Ahli Hospital blast. CNN geolocated the hospital blast by referencing nearby buildings just west of the complex. Marc Garlasco, the former defense intelligence analyst and UN war crimes investigator, says there are signs of a lack of evidence at the Al-Ahli Hospital site.

Hamas blamed an Israeli airstrike for the deadly explosion at a hospital in Gaza on Tuesday. A former UN war crimes investigator says the visuals of the incident appear "inconsistent" with an Israeli strike. A former United Nations war crimes investigator said the visual evidence from the incident is "completely inconsistent" with what the aftermath of an Israeli airstrike would look like. "I can definitely rule out an airstrike, but looking at the various possibilities, I think that a failed rocket is the most likely."
