Funny article. Fired it and hit the tank. That is usually followed by- and destroyed it. Obviously, they have a way to go with their technology.
More missing from the article than what is there. Could have fired anything from a roman candle to a real anti-tank weapon, but if it were a real anti-tank weapon and hit the tank there would be more to the article. Hard to make a good, reliable shaped charge which includes delivery system and fusing. So my bet is roman candle.

Nah - it probably says "Estes" on the side of it, and only powered by a size D engine at that.

No way! this thing is high tech, here is a rarely seen hamas anti tank missle ready to strike fear into the heart of the infidels

This is great news, it is obvious that weapon supplies for Hamas are drying up. The desperation of having to manufacture home made material is clear evidence of logistic
failure in the Hamas movement.
If you watch any reports from the ME, you will notice that the practice of firing weapons in the air is almost gone.
This again speaks to the shortage of ammunition.
