The Katyushas sound like a good "terrorist" missile but little more, if, as stated, they can't be steered worth a hoot. The carnage in Israel has thankfully been very low in proportion to the number of missiles lobbed. A blind man could probably hit more people.

The credit for the few casualties has to go to the people and government of Israel. First for the people building and maintaining hardened rooms and bomb shelters to seek safety in, and second to the Israeli government for using audible alerts as well as SMS notification to help it's citizens seek shelter in the event of an attack. Final recognition goes to the Israeli military who typically responds to any attack of this form with a violent barrage of counter battery fire.
