#1 If this is legit, that car was hit by something even smaller than a Hellfire, maybe one of those proposed guided 2.5" Folding Fin Rockets. The IDF may have something even smaller than that, but I can't remember the name.

#2 Likely a car bomb filmed for propaganda purposes.

#4 Yes, upon closer inspection it appears the floorboard of the car, undercarriage, tires, etc. were undamaged [note the post-blast rolling stop]. This might indicate a suicide vest or bomb cushioned by a seat [explosives not sitting on the floorboard or total penetration and roadway cratering]. Cams appear to be mounted on light poles.

#5 Suspect it was a cellie bomb with the caller observing from a seaside apartment with his finger on the speed dial. Just my guess.

#7 As far as I'm concerned, an Arclight is precise enough to be used on Palestinians.

#8 Whatever was used, it's smart of Mossad to claim that it was an air-to-ground weapon...

#9 Hamas and ABC/NBC/CBS/CNN/MSNBC/Ruthers/AP/UN/WH/etc... - "A vehicle driven by sixteen children and their fluffy bunnies...."

FIFY - no charge.

#11 I'd think you'd need that kind of precision to hit the handful Palestinians not engaged in terrorism

#12 Definately banana in the tailpipe.

#13 Regardless of how it happened (IDF said they did it) gotta love the Wile E. Coyote Super Genius rollout at the end.

"O​sama Ha​s​sumi and Mohammad Fatzih, who were targeted in this assassination, were responsible for many of the recent rocket barrages and planned more (they did not belong to Hamas, rather the PRC).

Both the IDF spokesperson and Palestinian official sources confirmed that this was an airborne assassination of these 2 terrorists."
