Original Note:
According to sources (https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20240104-israel-dropped-65000-tonnes-of-bombs-on-gaza-in-89-days/) it is correct that Israel has dropped 65,000 tonnes of bombs and missiles. But a ton of bomb does not equal a ton of tnt. The GBU-28 bomb contains ~10% TNT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GBU-28 With that estimate, Israel has dropped ~6.5kt of TNT equivalent, so ~41% of a Hiroshima bomb.
