I've Been Thinking:

Once again, there are rumors swilling about that Israel is using a secret weapon.
Italian TV even ran a piece on the secret weapon.
In this case, the rumors are probably true.

The Israeli weapon is similar to a weapon the United States is working on called the DIME, the Dense Inert Metal Explosive.
The U.S. version is still in the perfection stages while it seems that Israel has already perfected their version.

What makes this explosive different from others is that it is a very intense bomb with a very small impact, an impact of only several yards.
It uses tungsten and carbon.
It is an enormously hot intensive explosion.
It is a weapon that allows you to hit your target and only your target.

So what's the big deal over this small explosive?
When terrorists hide amidst civilians, armies need to hit their enemy without hitting innocent civilians.
This time it seems Israel has hit the dime.
