You just cited three "comparable" munitions whose payloads and characteristics are widely different. Two of which are cruise missles, and conveniently, all in the news recently.

Your analysis is also based on questionable footage, which by the way, has sound (sound effects?) of artillery, or rocket artillery, not that of a cruise missile.

But sure, if that footage is authentic, that noise could be something like a JDAM, or another air dropped bomb, even if it does sound more like incoming rocket artillery IMO.

My point is just that it's irresponsible to ascribe definite attribution with the presently available information. That's it.

The sound of the munition used in the strike and the size of the explosion is in line with JDAMs used in prior conflicts, not that of a misfired missile: https://x.com/wyattreed13/status/1714338974544625692?s=20

Feel free to compare with the use of other JDAMs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_uwzugvv-g

Hamas simply doesn't have the ability to launch a warhead of the capacity being claimed.
