How many Hiroshimas is that?

2k pounds so about the same as Russian FAB-1000 in Ukraine?

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The Joint Program Executive Office Armaments & Ammunition says the MK-84 bomb, which the US used extensively in the Gulf War from 1990-1991, has a blast and fragmentation mechanism and is ideally suited for strikes on "buildings, rail yards, and lines of communication."

"The use of 2,000-pound bombs in an area as densely populated as Gaza means it will take decades for communities to recover," John Chappell, an advisor on legal and policy issues at the Center for Civilians in Conflict, previously told CNN.

Tom Karako, a weapons expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, told the agency that this clearly demonstrated "a substantial level of support from the United States for our Israeli allies."

While the full extent of US weapons shipments to Israel remains unclear, a senior Biden administration official recently confirmed that the US has delivered $6.5 billion in security assistance since October 7.

But Biden is yet to take any further action to condition military aid deliveries, and the latest Reuters report on shipment details suggests there has been little reduction in the amount being delivered to Israel.

Tensions have also been brewing between Israel and the US in spite of the continuing aid deliveries, with Biden recently saying that there was "every reason" for people to think Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu was prolonging the war in Gaza to stay in power.
