It’s in the exact same spot as a previous strike. It’s called a “double tap” attack, and it’s a war crime.
The guy only survived because the bomb went off inside the crater from a previous strike, he would’ve been turned into powder if that had exploded in the surface.
To a degree it is, but target selection is (or should be - there are reports of the IDF using AI to designate targets, which is a whole nother omnishambles) done by human hand. If there is a group of people inside the lethality radius of your bomb, then you are designating them as targets.
Not sure I understood exactly what you’re asking?
I think it was a paveway according to other comments here. Big and heavy, not accurate to the meter, not modern.
Targeting is less important than the weapons technology. Incredibly advanced targeting algorithms still won’t steer a big dumb jobbie from the 1970s any faster under changing wind conditions, for example.
it supposedly was shrapnel munition, so you want to hit closeby but not necessarily on the target. But the bomb went through the hole and exploded in the canal under the street which is what saved his life. I see no reason to give an IOF stormtrooper the benefit of the doubt. They wanted to kill him, but accidentaly bungled it simple as.
Does it maybe seem like the pilot intentionally missed, though–disobeying orders? Isn’t this like missing an ant?

Right, but how do you screw that up? Isn’t targeting computer controlled, or no?

I’m asking how you miss like 2 or 3 people with a damn missile and modern targeting.
