Most of them are inaccurate but there are quite a number of sophisticated rockets, especially in the north in the hands of Hezbullah. Hamas probably has some in Gaza too, but to use them would be a tactical mistake, escalating the conflict when they may not be ready to, revealing their weapons caches and tipping their hand in other ways. Hamas will hold them back until they feel its necessary, such as in if the Israelis were to mount another “incursion” into Gaza.

I am still in awe about the Iron Dome. They can take out these short range rockets. They are even capable to detecting if a rocket will land in empty field, and if so to let it go. It not only saves ammo but allows the system to focus on other rockets that may hurt people. Its really a huge technological leap that may some day render short range missiles totally ineffective weapons.

The Israeli plan for Gaza is to cut 10 roads to the sea, making 10 sectors with military forces positioned along the boarder, the sea and Israel proper. From those 10 new zones, the IDF will begin to cut grid squares and pacify each zone. It will be quick and it will be bloody for the IDF and those who oppose them. It is how war in Gaza will unfold and it will be a final occupation until every inch is scrutinized and cleared of the Pali-warmongers.
