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.



It's only a ~22 lb. warhead. And some of those cars may be "armored".

Changing the weight of the warhead could affect flight characteristics of
the missile.
