Israel's bombs flatten swaths of Lebanon village amid fears of wider war

Description

Andreas Krieg of King's College in London said the structural damage in Aita al-Shaab was in keeping with wide-impact-area ordnance dropped by fighter jets or drones. Images of strikes indicated bombs of up to 2,000 lbs (900 kg) had been dropped, he said.

"Hezbollah does have much ... heavier warheads on their ballistic missiles that have not been used yet," Krieg said.

Israel's military and Hezbollah did not respond to questions about ordnance.
Hezbollah's goal, Krieg said, was to drive out Israeli civilians.
"For that, Hezbollah doesn't need to cause massive structural damage to civilian areas or civilian buildings."
