smart IEDs

Please note those who use al-Qassam (rockets) do not have "smart bombs", which are usually released from bombers/jet fighters.

I believe this line is taken from a passage about Palestinian resistance groups. They have always used IEDs (improvised explosive devices), which is simply referred to here as عبوّات, singular عبوّة.
