Original Note:
The deeply penetrating bombs (often nicknamed "bunker buster") that the Guardian claims were used are not "designed to level buildings", but to destroy heavily fortified and/or underground targets. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunker_buster The JDAM/GBU-31 mentioned is just the guidance kit for the bomb. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_Direct_Attack_Munition
