The bombing run was carried out by F15 and F35 fighter jets, which dropped 36,000kg of bombs on the “Daesh infested island”, a tweet from the spokesperson added.

Serious question though. How big is the blast radius of those things? Are the bombs all placed at the edges of their radius so that everything in between is destroyed also? Or would the bombs just be targeted at buildings without necessarily intending to kill individual soldiers walking between them?

And that served to do pretty much nothing but waste more money. And probably murder a bunch of civilians. 

Some Kurdish leader probably told trumpy admin the island was full of isis when it was a bunch of Shia civilians.

Didn't look like there were any buildings on that island.

Depends on the size which I think would be a variant of the MK82 500 pound bomb. Roughly each bomb is 100% lethal to anything inside the space of two and a half football fields. 300m by 100 meters or so. Larger weapons of course are more deadly and have a larger blast radius. I can't gain perspective from the video if MK83's or MK 84's were used. It really does not matter because the weapons delivered in the pattern shown would have likely killed anything above ground with shrapnel. The overpressure from the bombs within 150 meters would likely kill just about anything regardless of shrapnel.

Most of these bombs are made now in Garland, Texas at a Raytheon facility. A few are made in Poland but most are made in Garland.....with a lot of fucking pride.

Precision guided munitions.  Laid out in a grid pattern.  Not "dumb" bombs, as I have heard.  Collapse/disable any and all underground cave/tunnel systems.  Think the B52 Cu Chi raids in Vietnam
