A video published by the Israeli military showed that planes it said were used in the attack that killed Hezbollah’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, on Friday night carried 2,000-pound bombs, according to munitions experts and a New York Times analysis.
The video showed eight planes fitted with at least 15 2,000-pound bombs, including the American-manufactured BLU-109 with a JDAM kit, a precision guidance system that attaches to bombs, according to Trevor Ball, a former U.S. Army explosive ordnance disposal technician. These bombs, a type of munition known as bunker busters, can penetrate underground before detonating.
In May, the Biden administration announced it had paused a shipment of 2,000-pound bombs to Israel because of concerns over civilian safety in Gaza.

Biden stopped supplying those bombs a while back. Believe whatever lame stream media you follow.
Two different strikes in sequence the first a classic takeout of command/control communications with the pagers— result utter chaos.
The second- eliminate Nasrallah and most of his staff who were meeting in the bunkers plural under these apartment buildings— and they did put word on the apt dwellers without copping to the bunker slime- though some probably did not heed it. Major decapitation of leadership.
Now follows targeted clean up of what is left and force majeur move back into the Samaria/Lebanon area inside Israel (utterly devastated since 10k had to leave their homes).
So they don’t use that plane.... they can afford decoys, and also internal security about how and where and when, exposing the a@@holes giving them the info— the Muslim embeds at fn bee eye for one.
More than one from what I understand.
I heard that attack got quite a few higher ranking terrorist leaders.

The basement under the Beirut airport is a huge storehouse- talk about secondaries. Wouldn’t book a flight in or out of there in the next months.

Biden concerned “over civilian safety in Gaza” ... the heck with Israel’s civilian safety over terrorists’ attacks.

What about civilian safety in the womb you Jack weed?
I was in meetings with Homel@nd Secur1ty in 2004 where they were training local law enforcement to identify the various components of MANPADS so that if they ran across any of them, they could identify them.
It was to be understood that these items had already been brought into the US and were being stashed by foreign cells.
Someone was heard to say “don’t be surprised if one morning you wake up and commercial airliners are falling out of the sky”.
The items are not much longer than the average weed water, all one has to do it point, wait for a tone and pull the trigger.
From some osint accounts I follow....they assumed they were bunker busters that penertated pretty deep from pics.
Aww geeze, another troll, nice change of subject. Your ignorance has been shown to all here.
Drop 80 bombs just to be sure ..
Those “civilians” are fair game targets, anyone that has not made an exit from the area by now are COMPLICIT with the situation and will get what they deserve.
Maybe they need a new Pager 📟 so they can stay informed 🤪

Israel “paid” for those bombs with American tax dollars.
All our “obligations” to Israel are one sided. They demand. We give. Then we’re supposed to thank them.
The Israelis have been putting on on a clinic for targeting their enemies.
It’s awe inspiring compared to our feckless efforts since... Well, since before I was born at least.
I will thank them for eliminating terrorists our government is too.... complicit, lazy, incompetent, unwilling, or any adjective of your choice, do to eliminate those who harm us themselves.
Our government should be involved in administering justice to terrorists who attack us.
Instead we coddle them. I'm not going to begrudge Israel the money to to it.
They have the manhood in one person to do what is necessary that our entire government does not have collectively.
>>”All our “obligations” to Israel are one sided. They demand. We give. Then we’re supposed to thank them.”
One sided? Not at all.

As far as “They demand, we give”, let me fix it for you. They ask. We sometimes give and we sometimes don’t. And how different is that from just about every other country in the world, including other countries in the Middle East? And BTW, your assumption that Israel pays for none of the weapons we send them is incorrect.
And as far as “We’re supposed to thank them”, what are you talking about. Who’s asking you to thank them?
As an American, I am happy that we did so. But the Biden-Harris administration actually suspended these for a time to pressure Israel into allowing Hamas to survive. It’s sad that you are taking the side of the anti-American communists here.
