Notice the camera pan to the right a couple degrees immediately after detonation...

Back in the early 90's, they used to test the GBU's during the middle of the night at the Eglin Air Force test range - which our back yard fence abutted.

Those were loud, but somehow comforting, sounds off in the distance.

Could have been a surveillance cam, already in place.

I have recently read an article on the munitions Israel is using. As others have already suggested, Israel is using ground penetrating bombs, referred to as 'bunker busting' bombs.

The delayed fuse allows the reinforced bomb to penetrate the building and the building's foundation. This weapon is not used just to destroy a building. It is used to destroy what is beneath the building.

Maybe a SPICE guided bomb? The video at 41s, the profile resembles the Spice 200. That maybe because of the angle. If the wings were side on to the camera they would be invisible. I thought a GBU-27/8 would make a bigger explosion. A smaller bomb means less collateral damage. That is part of what the IDF strives for and rarely gets credit.

It was a controlled movement, likely remote PTZ.

Definitely foreknowledge.

Maybe GBU 39. I’m pretty sure they are using GBU 31 bunker busters on the high rises.

Thing of beauty.

What are they using as “roof knockers”?

“As others have already suggested, Israel is using ground penetrating bombs, referred to as ‘bunker busting’ bombs.”

I saw an Israeli video of the first IDF strikes on buildings in Gaza. You could see the bomb impact on the roof, then a moment later the flash inside the building and then the whole structure pancakes down.

Could certainly be. I don’t have much knowledge of those things.

Four stories of masonry probably without any reinforcing steel. Splat!
