62. CBUs have not been seen so far (thankfully)
Israel make CBUs in house and claims much lower failure rate than the US ones, on the order of 1%. However, if they are using them there will be failed ones found. After the PR disaster in Lebanon, I do not expect them to be used.

Back to the mosque video I would have expected more small explosions if a CBUs had been used. My take on the video released by the IAF was clearly secondary explosion of energetic material, YMMV. Right now I think 4-5 mosque strikes have been independently verified, but I am mobile tonight and don't have my data with me.
