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

A very large bombing raid into Germany in WWII was 600 planes, but those bigger bombers in Europe like the B-17 carried more than one bomb, and several 500 or 1000 lb bombs would of course hit the city below from one bomber. B-25, Hudson, B-26 were smaller of course. Stuka had a smaller payload, Lancaster a larger payload so you can’t quite compare WWII to Gaza ....

What is the average payload on these? And how “in-accurate” are they? 1/2 mile in 20 miles? Or worse? Just randomly falling?
