    Not saying this info is wrong but the fins on the bombs in those pictures look very different. I'm no bomb expert of course

    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.

    The only thing Israel loves more than killing journalists, is killing children.

    For fun, I just looked at headlines for this. Almost all of them mention Lebanon, only two mention Israel or IDF. Classic.

    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.

    Being a journalist in range of Israel isn't the safest of occupations.

    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.

    So, will Keir Starmer comment on this or is his mouth too busy wrapped around Netanyahu's dick?!
