You asked if I know what kind of weapon was used.

Nobody does.

There's a lot misinformation/disinformation about a "ninja bomb" with swords.
It's called the "RX9 Hellfire" or "Flying Ginsu," based on the old commercials for Ginsu knives.
Absolutely ridiculous.

Such a weapon would kill everyone in the car.

The munition being used is a purely kinetic weapon with explosive warhead.

The warhead is almost certainly cement.

Inert training munitions are filled with cement.
Each of these MK-84 training bombs weigh 2000 pounds.
In 1982, the Israelis pioneered the use of dropping inert cement-filled munitions in urban environments.

The PLO locked all the residents of apartment buildings inside and then put antiaircraft positions on the roofs.
The Israelis brought back a very old tactic called "skip bombing."

Instead of dropping the bomb to hit vertically, you fly in from the side and drop the bomb so that it skips horizontally.
Watch the SECOND bomb.
It's incredibly hard to do on hard surfaces such as the roofs of buildings, because there's always the danger that the bomb will bounce up too high and hit the aircraft.
In Beirut, the Israelis came in--FLYING JETS--about five feet above the gun positions, dropped the 2000-pound bomb, and pulled up and away.

The bomb smashed into the gun position without destroying the roof of the apartment building.
The Israelis even worked out how to make the bomb skip in directions where it would cause no collateral damage.

We're using guided cement bombs that kill only the target in the car.

This car was stationary when it was hit.
It was idling.

The first munition hit vertically, went all the way through the car, and made a shallow crater in the pavement.

They use some form of compressed dust--metal or plastic--for the casing that causes the munition to completely disappear as it hits.
It was then a short step to making compressed-metal bullets that kill but cause zero collateral damage.

The bullets become dust in the wind.
That guy fired full auto at a steel target at point-blank range.

The compressed-metal or plastic casing of the unknown munition works the same way.

It LOOKS LIKE the cement warhead is also made of compressed material, because no trace has ever been found.
This car was hit by a SECOND munition through the windshield, almost certainly after nanodrones saw that the target was still moving.
I've seen several of these weapons sued, but never TWO.

They're using a new targeting system.

In past, our most accurate precision-guided weapon would anywhere within a circle six feet in diameter.

Beginning in Iraq, munitions were put into open windows of cars.
To clarify:

Iraq after 2014.

I'm positive that since these strikes were always referred to as "coalition" rather than American, they were Gulf Arab technology.

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) secretly made peace with Israel in 2006.
Then the GCC began funding Israeli weapon development to the tune of about $7 trillion.

Both the Israelis and the GCC have weapons we can't even conceive.

After Trump became president, they began sharing technology with us.

They TRUST Trump.
The commonality of the new weapons is accuracy, lethality, zero collateral damage, kinetic energy, and directed blast effect.

The car in Hassan's video has no sing of either blast or fragmentation.

It was a purely kinetic weapon.
I think the targeting system uses disposable nanodrones with transmitters.

They're the size of insects.

They land on the target, and then the munition hits the drone.

I think they use frequency hopping spread spectrum radio transmissions.
This is a completely unknown missile used in Syria.

It has no flying surfaces (wings or elevators), no visible means of propulsion and a radio antenna (red arrow).

If you change the radio frequency millions of times per second, the missile can't be jammed.
Weapons are DECADES more advanced than bombs with swords.

The US Special Forces Command announced that they're replacing ALL their weapons platforms with much more advanced systems to brings us up to par with...someone.

They didn't say who, but I know.

The Gulf Arabs.
After Israel, Saudi Arabia is the most unfairly maligned country on earth.

It's been fighting an internal civil war over religion for 41 years.

The reformers finally won.

But they didn't have a victory parade.

Secret revolutions are smart revolutions.
The Israelis and Saudis are our best allies.

We owe them a hell of a lot.

ADDENDUM:

Frigging dysgraphia.

I meant to write, "The munition is a purely kinetic weapon with NO explosive warhead."

My apologies for the confusion.
