      Not saying this info is wrong but the fins on the bombs in those pictures look very different. I’m no bomb expert of course

        That’s pretty much undeniably a mk82 warhead. Which are fitted with different tail sections and other guidance systems for whatever they want to be used for. If the report is correct in that it was a 200lb load with 300lbs of metal, that would be the mk82 mod 7. Which likely has a Israeli tail section made for low altitude deployment with high precision.

            Going by the tail section (and lack of wings), it looks like this was a mk82 fitted with a Paveway II system, which would make sense given that this was likely intended to be used to demolish the bridge he’s standing on…

            Paveway tail/nose for comparison

        Either way it’s clearly different surroundings, and the missile in the video goes into a crater where a previous missile hit, while this still shows a missile hitting flat terrain

        Edit: silly me, it’s just zoomed in. And the rocket hits a little farther back from the crater, not in the existing crater.
