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.
