Israeli Smart Bomb Captured in Beirut Airstrike Photos

A rare glimpse into Israel's use of advanced weaponry reveals the impact of a SPICE-guided bomb in Beirut.

  • Photos from an airstrike in Beirut show an Israeli smart bomb moments before impact, flattening a residential building.
  • The strike occurred 40 minutes after Israel warned of evacuations, targeting an area near Hezbollah facilities.
  • The bomb is believed to be a 2,000-pound SPICE-guided munition, known for its precision and reduced collateral damage.
  • Despite the building's destruction, the delayed action fuse minimized damage to surrounding structures.
  • The SPICE system, developed by Rafael in collaboration with Lockheed Martin, combines GPS and electro-optical guidance for accuracy.
