Why not. To see the good guys defeat the bad guys and assimilate the land, that sounds good not bad. What's the difference if Israel nukes the bad guys or levels them with conventional weaponry ? You just can't keep giving the bullies more lunch money, it makes them worse. Punch them back so they will stop. If they're not convinced with force level 1, use force level 2. And if you still can't convince them to leave be, then you may push the damned button if they force you to do so. Because that's why they exist, when all other reasonable alternatives fail, unless you prefer eating garbage, torture, execution, being a slave or range target, or much worse things I couldn't imagine.

The precision is remarkable. And what the heck do they use to kill everyone in the car but not blow it to a million pieces?
Senior Islamist commander is 'killed in Israeli airstrike' after dozens of jets pounded Gaza overnight in 'heaviest bombardment since fighting began' as death toll rises to 211
A senior Palestinian militant commander has been killed in an Israeli airstrike, the country's air force has claimed, following a night of heavy bombardment that saw more than a hundred bombs dropped on Gaza.
Hussam Abu Harbid, commander of the Northern Division of Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), was killed in a strike on Monday, according to the Israeli air force as airstrikes continued into Monday afternoon.
Harbid was behind rocket attacks against Israel including several launched on the first day of the most-recent clashes, the Israeli air force said, and had been a commander within PIJ for at least 15 years.
Well no wonder. The airbsgs didn't deploy and save him.

Prevailing theory is the GBU-39 Small Diameter Bomb. Specifically the GBU-39A/B – SDB Focused Lethality Munition (FLM).

a version of the SDB I which replaces the steel casing with a lightweight composite casing and the warhead with a focused-blast explosive such as Dense Inert Metal Explosive (DIME). This should further reduce collateral damage when using the weapon for pin-point strikes in urban areas.
Kinda gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "Dropping a dime on someone", doesn't it?

I don't have any experience with military munitions but this looks more like a flying shotgun than a ginzu. That car was peppered by small diameter pellets - look at the way the steering wheel cover was shredded

pay particular attention to the explosion at 1:20.
I would like to see a photo of the spot on the ground where the car was actually impacted (not where it rolled to a stop), I'm sure it would be quite telling. If you look at the roof of the vehicle, you can see it was clearly perforated in a consistent manner. I'd say without a doubt it was a GBU 39 FLM.

The claymore mine is literally a backing plate with explosive and covered in ball bearings...when it goes off it is akin to a shotgun.
Other anti-air missiles/anti air artillery shells don’t actually strike the target airplane but explode at or near the target, as the aircraft is going so fast it self destructs when hit with shrapnel.
I imagine the missile/bomb used on the car had a proximity fuse and detonated a few feet above the target sending shrapnel into the car-lessening the risk of bystanders being injured by parts of the car becoming shrapnel

The real time intel is amazing. I'm assuming Mossad has a large presence on the ground.

And now this:
"Black Lives Matter stands in solidarity with Palestinians. We are a movement committed to ending settler colonialism in all forms and will continue to advocate for Palestinian liberation. ( always have. And always will be ). #freepalestine"
Because you know, the Israelis have been there for 4000 years, and Islam didn't even exist until less than 1000 years ago. So who are the colonialists? The "Palestinians" and their leaders are Arabs from Egypt, Jordan, and other Arab countries. But never let history or facts upset a good narrative.
