The title says the "Equivalent", so why stretch it beyond that and start talking about nuclear weapons, it is the tonnage that counts here; 20,000 tons of explosives on a 139 square mile (360 sq km) territory. that is big by all means and calculations, What they mean is, it is like dropping 6 tactical nuclear bombs of around 3 kt each on a relatively small area of land, densely populated.
It is awful and the results are the killing of mostly civilian people with no shelters and no means to hide or defend themselves, apart from some of their son's attempts to respond by home made rockets that irritate the occupiers and make them mad. Which is not even the intention, the real intention is to tell Usrael to end its occupation and blockade, since the Palestinians know that their sacrifices are aimed towards this end, and in one way or the other sometime somehow they will get their independence.
Why stop there, it is like firing THOUSANDs of tactical nuclear weapons of 10-20 tons.
