Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

More than enough ordnance to destroy Rafah and kill tens of thousands, any vote or support for this monster is active direct support for genocide and should be treated accordingly

I feel compelled to mention that both bomb types mentioned are 'dumb' bombs, they have no way to be guided.

Bunch of evil fucks, they won't even bother to make Israel pinky promise they won't kill civilians with the bombs before handing them over.

You can't convince me Biden is trying to actually win re-election, this is too willfully stupid even for captain dementia.

You can put a "jdam kit" on a dumb bomb to make it steer by gps, or dive bomb from low altitude. Will they do that? Nope.

Good to know. But yeah, they probably won't considering they've been using 'dumb' bombs (and phosphorus) since the start

I would generally assume they would have JDAM or similar kits attached, but they don't seem to mention anything like that anywhere, so you're probably right.
