This is a waste and completely un-necessary.
Gaza is so small that they can cover the whole thing with mortars.
Instead they get glide bomb kits that cost 150K each with a range of 100 miles.
This is like using a ferrari to deliver pizza.

One “smart” fighter with a laser designator, one “dumb” fighter with a few bombs. Target is a bridge with a few pylons to hold it up.

“Gaza is so small that they can cover the whole thing with mortars.”
The typical concrete construction requires heavier explosives to be tactically effective in dropping buildings for urban warfare, but more importantly, the many tunnels require heavy air dropped bombs, with ground penetrating capability.
