Yes I know they did, I was painting targets at the time. You will notice the words I have highlighted in your C&P - "bombing strike against Yugoslav military targets"

The harrier was the GR7, it carries max payload of 8000 lbs that would also include its ECM pods, Fuel tanks for the trips, actual bombs carried would have been two x 500lbs or a single centre line 1000lb. Hardly enough for carpet bombing.
