These are the precision-guided bombs all the news mentioned but hardly ever showed (info via this website):

GBU-22 (based on the 500lb MK 82 bomb)

GBU-24 (based on the 2000lb Mk 84 bomb)

PB-500 (Israeli developed lightweight bunker-busting bomb)

Israel and the United States say their ultimate aim is to fundamentally reshape Lebanon to end Hezbollah's presence by the border, strengthen democracy in the country and ensure lasting peace with Israel. In the process, Lebanon has been ravaged, with hundreds killed, nearly a half-million driven from their homes and vast damage to roads and bridges.
