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?


From what I understand, the Israelis have converted both the TOW and
Hellfire to use blast/frag warheads instead of the usual shaped charge ones.
Blast/frag is more efficient for attacking the target set they are going
after. I don't know about weight though.

I've heard the same from someone who was over there during the height
of the tit-for-tat missile strikes and Pal attacks a couple of years
ago (sure doesn't seem that long).
