That depends greatly on the contents of the warhead portion of the bomb.
If the warhed is weak, it will not do a great deal of blast damage; however, the weight of the bomb will make it useful against a single structure. The structure could be utterly pulversized with minimal damage to surrounding stuctures. This would have the effect of limiting incidental casualties (with the possible exception of those inside the traget structure).
And the symbolism was NOT lost on the terrorists. They are on the offensive because they don't want Israel to stop with Gaza or the West Bank. They won't stop until Israel is driven into the Mediterranean Sea.
In order to understand the attrition done to Gaza, one must first recognize that Hammas is the one that brought this attrition about.
One can only support terrorism by wallowing in profound denial about their history.
Does ANYONE who sympathizes with the Palestinian plight honestly believe that Hammas or Hezbollah REALLY want peace?
Collateral damages are inevitable in a war. But there are still many civilians killed in Gaza.
Do you think it's a good tactic to kill some of them (by accident) so that they reject the Hamas? Do you think it's what Israel does, and do you support it?
