There are tunnels all over the place. I hear some are from Iran. Some are sent by ships.
They are being smuggled in originally from Iran, through Lebanon, some through Syria, but the majority of them come through Lebanon..most are the short range rockets, but others have longer range(The ones that you are seeing come through Tel Aviv) the Iron Dome protects Israel the majority of the time, but it can’t be expected to handle all of the rockets being shot in, once in a while a rocket gets through..a few days ago it made a direct hit on a gas station, hurting 1 person severely..the rockets are being shot from the Gaza Strip..Hamas purposely puts these rockets in schools and homes with women and children so that there will be mass casualties and those images will play on TV
The largest and most accurate probably come as-is from Iran; perhaps a small amount of assembly required.
The next size down probably come as parts and put together in Gaza.
On the low end, I think they are just home grown... doesn't take much to launch a piece of pipe when you couldn't care less where it lands.
Here is plans for an aspiring palee... just omit parachute:
A lot of the smaller ones are not much more than PVC pipe with some solid rocket fuel and a little explosives on the tip. They ARE manufactured in Gaza.
one might suppose ‘we’ paid for them.
$440 Million to Hamas/Palestine this year
I suspect the majority of them resemble what you can buy at Hobby Lobby, plus an explosive warhead with a contact detonator.(Only larger)
National Geographic article on the tunnels in Gaza
Some decent info on the tunnels with a WAY left liberal bias
Not the National Geographic I read when I was young

Two, who paid for these rockets?
Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and most middle east muslim countries.
Also Europeans and the U.S. under the guise of "humanitarian" help to the "Palestinians."
Three, how did these rockets get into Gaza? Were they smuggled in from Egypt?
Many directly from Syria, by way of various paths from the country of origin. Many by sea, but Israel keeps intercepting the most blatant attempts by sea.

YOU “paid for them”!!
Via your tax dollars and the $$$BILLIONS in aid provided by Obama.
The Rockets are various sizes and shapes, but what is new are the numbers originating from Iran and Syria.
The less sophisticated rockets are built locally.
I won’t be surprised they come from a cia operation to give weapons to various terrorists. They just swap for what they want.
