Verdict: mostly true — Trust Score 69/100

The claim that the explosive power used in Gaza exceeds that of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombs reported by reports from the UN, Euro-Med Monitor, and international news agencies. While the mathematical comparison of cumulative tonnage is accurate, the post's framing of the video as 'leaked' is misleading, as the footage originates from a public Telegram channel used for official or semi-official military updates.

Claims analyzed (4)

  1. mostly true: This post was posted by @itsokinafitto on Threads.
    The content is provided directly from the Threads platform under the username @itsokinafitto.
  2. verified: Israel has dropped explosives on the Gaza Strip.
    Extensive reporting from international agencies and the UN confirms a continuous and massive aerial bombardment campaign in Gaza since October 2023, continuing into 2026.
  3. verified: The total explosive power of munitions dropped by Israel on Gaza exceeds the combined power of the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in World War II.
    The Hiroshima bomb (Little Boy) yielded ~15 kilotons and the Nagasaki bomb (Fat Man) yielded ~21 kilotons, totaling 36 kilotons. By mid-2026, cumulative reports estimate Israel has dropped over 200,000 tons (200 kilotons) of explosives on Gaza, which is approximately 5.5 times the combined power of the two atomic bombs.
  4. misleading: A video has been leaked showing brutal scenes from the Gaza conflict.
    The image contains a watermark for the Telegram channel 't.me/cabinetisrael' and Hebrew text identifying it as a channel for 'eliminating terrorists.' This is a public-facing channel that regularly shares strike footage; the footage is not 'leaked' but rather publicly disseminated by pro-Israel or military-affiliated sources.
