The US demands that Lebanon return the unexploded GBU-39 bomb from Israeli airstrikes

This missile model may fall into countries such as China, Russia, and Iran, and after being dismantled, it can be deduced in reverse. Cracking down on US military technology.


Event Background

In November 2025, the Israeli Air Force launched a GBU-39 small diameter bomb at Beirut during an airstrike on Ali Tabatabai, a senior commander of Hezbollah in Lebanon. However, the bomb did not detonate and remained relatively intact at the scene. The United States subsequently urgently requested the Lebanese government to return the bomb.  ‌
 
Concerns of the United States
The US is concerned that this bomb may be acquired and reverse engineered by countries such as Russia or Iran, leading to the leakage of its core technology (such as GPS assisted inertial navigation system, fuse structure, etc.), and even giving rise to targeted countermeasures.  ‌
 

Characteristics of GBU-39 Bomb
Accuracy: Error range of 5 to 8 meters, using GPS assisted inertial navigation.
Weight: Approximately 129 kilograms, with a small size, making it easy for fighter jets to carry multiple missiles at once.
Application: Widely used in military operations of US allies such as Israel, Italy, and South Korea.  ‌

Current progress

world opinion
The incident has sparked controversy over the legality of US military actions and technological monopolies. Some media criticized the US for "treating Lebanon's sovereignty as worthless" and questioned its double standards.  ‌
