US senator confirms Israel used US one ton bomb in Nasrallah strike

Senator Mark Kelly, chair of the Senate Armed Services Airland subcommittee, has publicly confirmed that Israel used a US-manufactured one ton Mark 84 series bomb in the air strike that killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. This statement marks the first official acknowledgment regarding the specific munition deployed in the operation.

Speaking on NBC, Kelly said, "We see more use of guided munitions, JDAMs, and we continue to provide those weapons. That one ton bomb that was used, that's a Mark 84 series bomb, to take out Nasrallah."

The bomb, known for its substantial destructive capacity, has drawn criticism from those concerned about its use in densely populated areas. Critics argue that such powerful weapons pose unacceptable risks to civilians and should not be used in urban or densely inhabited regions.
