I've seen it suggested on some web pages that the Israelis are using
smaller Hellfire warheads for their anti-terror strikes than come

Highly likely - if it *was* a Hellfire.

Check the early pictures of the last airstrike - the blast didn't even
remove the car's hubcaps.
Ignore later pictures - reports say the car was vandalised by souvenir
seekers.


Well,Hellfire uses a shaped charge warhead,so it makes a "jet' of
penetrating metal,tearing through the car's interior and the blast may
occur outside the car,and it would not affect the hubcaps/wheelcovers.
