Original Note:
The headline is real, but takes the figure from a subset of locations in ww2, which is misleading. The total tonnage was ~40x the 70kt dropped in Gaza so far — 2.7 million. https://repository.lsu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=4267&context=gradschool_theses Another comparison could be the entire blitz at 40k tons, despite London being far larger than Gaza. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blitz#aftermath
