A number of factors may be considered in assessing responsibility between the Palestinians and the Israelis.
Albert Einstein once wrote that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Once again, Hamas and Islamic Jihad have been acting in a reckless, excessive fashion, firing at least hundreds of rockets a day at Israel civilians, using metro tunnels, trying to kill Jews and overwhelm Israel, which has been dependent on effective technology to survive, by using the Israel Iron Dome anti-missile system, the network of connected batteries and radar that fire at rockets. Israel had to respond to overcome the threat, attacking the underground tunnels where the Hamas weapons are stored.
Many of the rockets are advanced long-range missiles, now able to target every city in Israel, and therefore the fighting has included the whole of Israel and the occupied territories. There are two immediate issues: where did profusion of heavy rockets come from, and how, if the Palestinians are short of money with a supposedly impoverished population of two million, and a poor infrastructure, were they paid for?
No doubt some of the rockets are made in Gaza, but most came from Iran, which transports them into the Gaza Strip by smuggling tunnels along the Egyptian border and by sea, even though an internationally approved naval blockade is in place. Iran has probably helped the Hamas plan to attack Israel by sea with a submergible naval weapon. In general, Iran has two objectives: it funded the terror coming from Gaza, and it also wants to overcome the success of the Abraham Accords, which are a stepping-stone to Jewish-Arab peace and unite a number of Arab countries against the threat of Iran.

I meant left...
oops!
“The utility of the Qassam rocket design is assumed to be ease and speed of manufacture, using common tools and components. To this end, the rockets are propelled by a solid mixture of sugar and potassium nitrate, a common fertilizer. The warhead is filled with smuggled or scavenged TNT and urea nitrate, another common fertilizer.”
“The warhead consists of a simple metal shell surrounding the explosives, and is triggered by a fuse constructed using a simple firearm cartridge, spring and a nail.”

Jacob’s.
Gee, now where might Iran have gotten the money to fund these adventures? Could be the $150 billion or so obama and Biden sent them?
Obama had one great quote
There is nothing Biden can’t F/U.
Biden and obama and the democrats want the mideast to burn. I do not know why but a million+ people have died from their policies.
Islam and those who follow it.
