Today, Wednesday, Anatolia held a meeting with the company's director, Saeed Ersoy Beraktelioglu, to comment on the pictures and scenes that were reflected in public opinion regarding the bombing of the Baptist Hospital in Gaza yesterday, Tuesday, which resulted in hundreds of deaths and injuries.
Berkatlioglu explained that the signs of the ammunition arriving at the hospital and the sound and strength of the explosion indicate that it may have been caused by a two-thousand-pound (910-kilogram) MK-84 bomb equipped with “joint direct attack munitions,” and not a missile. He stated that with this equipment The bomb was transformed into a precision guided munition.
Great destructive power
Pointing out that the bomb contains approximately 430 kilograms of explosive materials, Berktelioglu said that the ammunition could be very destructive if it reached its target at the appropriate angle.
He pointed out that this ammunition can be filled with different types of explosives to increase its effectiveness, and that the MK-84 bomb contains HMX and has a penetrating effect that can easily destroy a building.
"Another possibility is that it could be a BLU-109 bunker buster bomb, both of which are in the Israeli army's inventory," he said.
The Ministry of Health in Gaza stated that the toll of the Israeli massacre that targeted the Baptist Hospital on Tuesday evening amounted to 471 martyrs and 28 critical injuries.
