#1 A Hamas rocket costs 500$ (long range x5). An Iron Dome interceptor costs 50,000$. In case you were wondering about Hamas strategy.

#2 ^ Then Gaza has only as long to live as it's economically viable for the IDF to play 'nice'? After a while it's scorched earth on 360 or so sq km.

#3 ^My theory is that they're trying to make Israel reconquer them - after all, compared to what they've now (in quiet times), it was their golden age.

#5 and you can bet the Hamas rocket targeting system consists purely of "point it at the Jews"

#9 How much does Hamas’s rocket arsenal cost?

It’s a depreciating asset even when not shooting off. One must wonder how many of the 14,000 rockets in inventory Skidmark’s article mentioned were destroyed in the 15+ kilometers of destroyed tunnels — a happy thought.
