#4 I suspect that they used up their stores of "dumb" iron bombs, and are now getting shiny new JDAMs, raising their combat lethality by a couple of factors.

I also suspect that they are getting a whole bunch of weapons specifically designed for current events, shall we say.

Finally, I expect the Israeli arms industry has also been given the designs of even more weapons that they can fabricate in surge production.

#5 How about loading those bombs onto one small freighter instead of hundreds of flights?
