23 tons dropped on one target!

As far as whether the Hezbollah leadership was there or not... What does it matter? If there was a reasonable chance of decapitating their leadership, you do it.

Didn't you just quote Geneva conventions in regards to religious buildings? What if its not a command and control center? The trucks they thought were Missile launchers turned out were just well drilling trucks. Obviously they are not always correct. We are assuming everything is sinister in Lebanon now?

Lol ok me personally, none. However i've been in the company of explosives enough times and been on the receiving end enough times to know that 23 tons is a lot. Heck i know what damage just a few hundred pounds of the right mix from the IRA can do let alone what the military can produce.
Maybe i should have rephrased my question as well as making it sound as though 23 tons was OTT. Maybe people here with a good knowledge of air force missile payloads would be able to tell me if this would be an "average" amount to drop on one bunker?

Sorry for the confusion.
