    just cant help

    This assumes that the bomb accidentally fell there. This was a targeted strike.

    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.

    It's ok guys, the missile just happened to safely "land" in the area, by chance, "next to" the guy, who is only a "presenter", not a journalist . There's definitely no war crime to see here.

    As moral compasses adjust over time, it has become clear that almost everyone that made it into history books was an asshole. And the ones that weren't might have only been that way because they died too soon or history had gaps.

    Yuuuup. Almost like there's a lot of powerful people worldwide that rely on propaganda to not just obfuscate their horrifyingly immoral acts, but create a culture where these acts are permissible when discovered.

    Think about how the news used passive voice to never use the word rape or torture to describe what the epstein elite were doing to children, despite it being clearly laid out in front of our eyes.

    Same thing happening in Gaza, Lebanon, Sudan, West Papua, and now Iran, in a non exhaustive but exhausting list of countries where the west is funding and arming genocides in the name of "Spreading democracy" (Stealing Natural Resources ) while the news stations softly softly their way around talking points.

    Almost the exact same spot as one before and nothing there but him...

    And the bridge that was still standing.

    I doubt he was specifically targeted, since the margin of the miss was too large. But the ones doing the bombing knew he was there and went ahead to bomb the bridge anyway.

    Actually Israel is known to use a double tap bombing method that waits until reporters and aid shows up to the original site and then they strike it again to take out additional people to make it harder to respond to the next attack.

    Also this was a cluster munition bomb ment to shoot shrapnel out, the goal is to just hit solid ground to make it explode sideways, they just happened to double tap exactly the same spot and there was a cavity under the road.

    From the stills it looks like a standard mk82 with a guidance kit. It lacks the longetudenal slits that cluster munition bodies have. Also cluster munitions deploy their bomblets about 50-150m before they hit the ground, otherwise they don't get distribution.

    It looks more like they dropped a followup bomb on a bridge that was not destroyed by the first bomb. Its a common practice for low urgency targets.

    Especially considering it hit the same crater. Those bombs are accurate to about 1m, so that is not unusualy to hit almost the same spot.

    I still think they just did not care he was there. If they were targeting him, it would have hit him.

    True I don't think they were targeting him specifically but they were targeting the professions of who shows up after the first hit. They seemingly want a couple professions caught in the crossfire. And its ones that is a crime to target.

    Also that is still incredibly lazy with expensive munitions to not calculate the strike to actually hit again a weak point but to just send it on the same trajectory and hope it blows up enough to get the job done.

    No kidding.

    The Gaza war has become the deadliest conflict for journalists in history, with reports indicating that Israeli actions killed over 180 to more than 270 journalists, mostly Palestinians, between October 2023 and August 2025.

    Israel is openly targeting journalists. The IDF have shot anyone with MEDIA on their body. they have been since the Oct 7 attacks. Israel does not want their genocide or war crimes exposed, so they actively (and encourage) soldiers to target media.

    And now the USA has sided with this regime to kill more civilians in Iran.

    I hate Israel as well, but you both appear to be wrong. It looks like they were just finishing taking out a bridge by hitting the last part that was still standing.

    Not saying this is good, and I'm not defending Israel, but that's what this strike was.

    Blowing up bridges with shrapnel warheads. Sure.

    Edit: since everyone thinks I'm a liar, I'm basing this info on OP's comment in this post that added more info:

    You were absolutely wrong. In the two frames, you can see the bomb just as it penetrates the roadway, and then the next frame shows the explosion is obviously happening from underneath
    /inside of the bridge from the way the blast looks. You are bullshitting and don't know what you're talking about. And again, I'm no expert, but I clearly know more than you. This was a high explosive warhead not anything designed to create shrapnel as a primary goal. Obligatory fuck genocidal religious nut job Israel but making shit up doesnt help anyone and ruins the credibility of people spreading the lie.

    How in the world can you tell it is a "shrapnel warhead". I'm no weapons expert (you obviously aren't either), but I'm pretty positive most shrapnel warheads detonate well above the ground to pepper the target with shrapnel and have a much wider area of kill. This bomb clearly penetrated the road and exploded just like a high explosive warhead would, which is used to destroy buildings and bridges and whatnot.

    I do not see an article linked in this post, but again, if you look at the frame by frame, it's not a shrapnel warhead, and whoever say it is does not know what they are talking about. It is a high explosive warhead that is designed to penetrate the object they are targeting and then explode from within to cause as much damage to the structure as possible. A shrapnel warhead would have little to no effect on a concrete and rebar structure.

    How can you tell? Genuinely interested as I thought the shrapnel was just blasted rubble.

    I mean it definitely looks like a low bridge there's railing on either side and the big hole in the center of it looks like a hole in a bridge.

    This is very common in the Ukraine-Russian war where both sides launch multiple munitions across a bridge to take it fully down in the center.

    You can also see all the rebar sticking up in the first hole, which definitely indicates it is a bridge and not a road. Roads don't have rebar through them. Bridges do.

    Look at my other comment to prole, it's absolutely not a "shrapnel warhead". A warhead with shrapnel as its main design would detonate well above the ground and pepper the ground with shrapnel and would have little effect on a bridge.
