A similar airdrop of 26 tonnes took place in March 2024.
The war was triggered by an unprecedented cross-border attack by Hamas into Israel on Oct 7, 2023, which resulted in the death of 1,219 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on official data.
In response, Israel launched an offensive that has killed more than 60,000 people in Gaza, mostly civilians, according to data from the territory’s Hamas-run health ministry.
