The rockets, developed by Hamas activists in the Gaza Strip, have a range of about eight kilometers, and can carry a warhead of three to five kilograms. Currently, however, they are very inaccurate

No comment on the accuracy; as a terror weapon, I suppose accuracy is a non-issue.
The MMMs ahould be aware however that using the trajectory the launch point can be pretty much pinpointed.
A word to the wise: if you see some losers setting up a truck to launch one of these things, take them out before the Israelis have to do it and you lose your whole neighborhood.

In my High School, physics, Latin, and Romance Languages were all elective courses. My Jr. High had a rifle team. School sure ain't what it used to be.

Mine had up to 2 1/2 years of Calculus, plus Geometry and Trig. They had just dropped German and we only had 125 students in our class, half of whom were not on an academic track. Of course, in those days, at Ivy League Universities, the Salutarian's address was in Latin, and the Valedictorian addressed the crowd in Greek or Hebrew. The audience, consisting of parents and alumni, could understand these speeches. It was required that you take two classical languages and a modern language at their liberal arts colleges. Lesser liberal arts colleges had a language requirement as little as 20 years ago.

I take it that things have changed a little?

More than just a little.

These days HS diplomas are worthless, and most 'college diplomas' are only slightly less worthless.
