@LizSly , a few thoughts.
Thread #Beirut
1) strikes from IDF jets would likely be by precision guided munitions (PGMs).
2) Types of PGM range from a laser guided or GPS guided bomb, to a cruise missile for example.

3) Delivery of a PGM bomb usually involves a release from 20,000ft+. The pilot/WSO designates, or a JTAC on the ground can if laser. If GPS, coordinate is inputted.
4) if Cruise missile, then a standoff launch is the likely SOP. IDF strikes on Damascus for example.

5) it’s highly unlikely a strike would be launched using unguided munitions at low level.
6) You can also hear the high pitched whiz of a PGM just before it hits the target in the final phase of flight. Film would also likely capture this.

7) depending on the size of the warhead used and fusing, the secondary larger explosion would likely have occurred sooner.
Hope that helps.
