Israeli warplanes launched an airstrike on a building in Gaza using a 500lb guided bomb equipped with a Lizard guidance kit, an equivalent to the U.S.-made GBU-12 Paveway II.

The precision strike targeted the structure amid ongoing hostilities between Israel and militant groups in the enclave. The use of guided munitions underscores Israel’s reliance on precision weaponry to hit specific sites while attempting to limit collateral damage in densely populated areas.

While the Israeli military has not released further details on the target, Gaza residents reported explosions and damage in the surrounding neighborhood. No official casualty figures have been confirmed at this time.

The strike marks the latest escalation in the conflict, as air raids and rocket fire continue to heighten tensions across the region.
