    U.S. officials have been pushing Israel to use more of this type of bomb, which they say can reduce civilian casualties.

    This is the unique identifier code assigned by the U.S. government to Woodward, an aerospace manufacturer based in Colorado that supplies parts for bombs including the GBU-39.

        Yeah it’s designed to hit targets with little splash as possible and it does actually work - see that a Houthi SUV that was struck in traffic? That was us using precision munitions like the GBU-39, you’ll notice it didn’t even damage any nearby cars. It admittedly doesn’t work if you deliberately aim it at civilians like these IDF assholes love to do.
