in addition to using rockets against their targets they also used a 2,000 pound bomb.

So, yer sayin it blowed up real good?

that particular base was said to have as many as 3000 Iranian al-Quds soldiers and a handful of Russian advisers on it

Aw gee that's, well that's just...uh...awful.

(Originally it was thought they hit two sites some miles apart, but one of them was likely a AAA decoy. Typically a 2,000 pounder will definitely kill anyone within 250 yards, likely kill or wound much further than that.)

Here is a picture of a 40 year old 2,000 pound bomb crater in Laos. The new ones have a thicker casing, so are much more destructive.
