Israel uses Mark 80 series and BLU-109. They are made by General Dynamics in USA.
They are quite heavy.
Mk 82 = 500 lb
Mk 83 = 1000 lb
Mk 84 = 2000 lb
BLU-109 = 2000 lb

Mk 82 = 500 lb
Mk 83 = 1000 lb
Mk 84 = 2000 lb
BLU-109 = 2000 lb
When the Mark 80 series are fitted with precision kits, these bombs take new names.
Mk 82 = 500 lb --> GBU-38
Mk 83 = 1000 lb --> GBU-32
Mk 84 = 2000 lb --> GBU-31
Mk 82 = 500 lb --> GBU-38
Mk 83 = 1000 lb --> GBU-32
Mk 84 = 2000 lb --> GBU-31
The precision kits are called JDAMS. They convert "dumb bombs" to "smart bombs". They are made by Boeing.
Dumb bomb accuracy is within 94.5 meters. Smart bomb accuracy is within 5 meters.
To put it simply, dumb bombs can miss a target by a football field.

Both Mk 84 and BLU-109 are 2000 lb bombs.
Mk 84: General-purpose bomb
BLU-109: Penetrator bomb
But, the BLU-109 are bunker busters. They are designed to destroy underground structures.

Israel also uses small diameter bombs. These are made by Boeing. They are 250 lbs. They are called GBU-39.
The Ahli Hospital attack was suspected to involve small-diameter bombs. You can see how GBU-39 work on this thread.

In exchange for Palestinian lives, the US weapons industry has made record revenue.
They made $740 million in aerial bombs and tank munitions.
But USA was so kind to offer $100 million aid to Gaza, which Congress did not approve.
