I've seen it suggested on some web pages that the Israelis are using
smaller Hellfire warheads for their anti-terror strikes than come
standard.
Is this true and, if so, does anyone have a good cite?
I hadn't heard that, but it would probably make sense, seeing as the
standard armor-percing hellfire warhead is overkill for a soft target like a
car.
And way too much overkill for squishy targets like Hamas leaders.

Sure...why waste all that money on the bigger ones when you can
buy the little ones and get two Hamas leaders for the price of
one?
