Right, but how do you screw that up? Isn't targeting computer controlled, or no?

    To a degree it is, but target selection is (or should be - there are reports of the IDF using AI to designate targets, which is a whole nother omnishambles) done by human hand. If there is a group of people inside the lethality radius of your bomb, then you are designating them as targets.
    Not sure I understood exactly what you're asking?

    I'm asking how you miss like 2 or 3 people with a damn missile and modern targeting.

    I think it was a paveway according to other comments here. Big and heavy, not accurate to the meter, not modern. Targeting is less important than the weapons technology. Incredibly advanced targeting algorithms still won't steer a big dumb jobbie from the 1970s any faster under changing wind conditions, for example.
