#2 Was thinking the same thing. Iran makes most of the rockets?

#3 Iran makes most of the rockets?

No, Iran makes 'Medical Supplies', 'Farm Equipment' and 'Kitchen Appliances' that the crafty Gazooks assemble into rockets.

That the item marked 'Toaster Oven' looks like a Shahab 1 rocket motor is only a coincidence.

#6 One of these days the IDF’s engineers will penetrate the tunnels under Gaza City’s main hospital without having to come in through the top, and that’ll put an end to a great many little projects.

#7 the IDF’s engineers will penetrate the tunnels under Gaza City’s main hospital

Like with a autonomous spider-bot using the underground location and mapping tech from article the the other day? Cute lil' thing creeps along, finding it's way, when it's happy with it's location, it self-destructs with an Earth-shattering KABOOM! Like that?

#8 I agree that getting explosives into the Hamas tunnels would be a game changer. Hamas keeps both troops and missiles in its tunnels as well as other military equipment.

Apparently, the technical difficulty is considerable or the IDF would have done it by now.

on a lighter note, Ismail Haniyah came out of his tunnel shelter near the remnants of his former office and proclaimed victory
