‘Israel’ doesn’t care about collateral damage’: Bunker busters used in Gaza
Israel has used bunker busters to target Hamas in Gaza’s tunnels, which are also a lifeline for the besieged strip.

Plumes of smoke are springing up frequently as the Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip entered a third day after Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel.

In the enclave – blockaded by land, air and sea – a labyrinth of tunnels is Gaza’s lifeline, bringing in everything from food and weapons to fuel.
The tunnels are also Hamas’s outposts, acting as storage and essential portals for the Palestinian armed group.
At present, there are unverified reports that the Israeli military has targeted the tunnels in northwestern Gaza by deploying a powerful type of bomb known as bunker busters.

What are these weapons and just how powerful are they?

What are bunker busters and how do they work?
Bunker busters are “quite powerful but horrible pieces of ammunition”, Yossi Mekelberg, an expert on Israel at the London-based think tank Chatham House, told Al Jazeera.

The bombs burrow deep into the ground before detonating and are capable of destroying buried, hardened targets.

The weapons, also known as ground penetration munitions, fall roughly into two broad categories.


The first kind has a reinforced nose so the bomb itself survives impact. The weight gives it the momentum to bury itself deep into a target, and a delayed fuse allows it to penetrate the ground or structure before detonating.

The second kind carries two charges, or bombs, on it. The first charge is small and used to open a hole in its target, allowing the rest of the bomb or missile to pass through intact. The main charge then detonates inside, destroying everything within it.

I've clocked the same thing with most Islamic terrorist. They are Bloody wimps. All they can do is hide in cave, tunnel, or use civilians as cover.
Talibans did it, hid in caves after doing their spineless attack. Why not face Israeli army head on and fight like men. Go on Israel, flush these terrorists out and make them cough up.

Na wa o. What is Hamas gain in all these? His action is same as a suicide bomber who kills himself trying to kill his targets. What sense does that make? With Isreal involvement, no nation can easily support them militarily without fearing a hit from Isreal or USA. Russia that could have helped is also in war and cannot attract a deadly formidable opponent to themselves. China doesn't want war to come and destroy their infrastructures, North Korea will be very careful to join. What exactly was their hope? I mentioned countries that do not like Isreal nor USA but can not easily attack any of them.

Hamas spends ALL of its money on weapons to attack Israel and ZERO on power plants or water for it's people.

The UN and other agency have literally given them MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

-they NEVER use them to care for people.

AT ANY POINT they build a power plant
... but NO
Welcome to reality.

Instead they build rockets

They would be the first to aggress Israel and celebrate prematurely but when Israel retaliates, it's always lethal and they start playing victims, and their apologists follow up by staging bogus solidarity rallies around the world.
