The explosives they are using now are a LOT stronger than they were a month ago. The guy that killed those people on Ben Yehuda square broke windows 50 yards away. Incredible blast! An air conditioner on the second story across the street looks like someone plugged it with a pistol about 5 times from the bolts in the bomb. All of the buildings are faced with stone so the schrapnel does not leave much marking, but the door frames and trees look like someone went nuts with a machine gun.
