This image shows the etched markings of a MK 84 2000-pound class bomb, including model designation, "BOMB MK 84 MOD 4 2000 LBS", part number, "PART NO 30...03 923AS105" and production lot "LOT NO GDT 17 ...00...". Many countries produce MK-80 series bombs, so markings such as lot numbers can determine the country of production. "GDT 17" in the lot number indicates that this bomb was produced by General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems, an American company, in 2017. The Israeli Air Force announced they carried out this specific strike, indicating that this specific bomb was transferred to the Israeli Air Force. (ARES)
