Shouldn't they know exactly what Israel is dropping? They sold them a good chunk of it.

Israel has shitload of bombs available. But since Gaza is a completely uncontested airspace(therefore israeli planes can fly and drop dumb bombs safely) and they dont give a fuck about the palestinians, it is cheaper to use dumb bombs instead of guided.
