    Something that occurs to me that I can’t really get out of my head is perhaps Israel using it’s iron dome system to intercept missiles so that the shrapnel lands inside Gaza. I don’t know much about the iron dome system, nor what the alternatives to making missile shrapnel fall on civilians are.

    If anyone with more knowledge about these things could weigh in, I’d appreciate it.

      No shot a Hamas rocket has that kind of firepower, especially after detonation.

      If you watch the comparison video, it sounds very much like a US JDAM rig (which is like a strap-on guidance system for normally-dumb ordinance; so instead of just falling from a plane and hoping for the best, it can aim and steer to a target.

      Do you know who has US military tech? Hmmm

        If you look at the picture of the damage it is immediately obvious that it was not a JDAM. This bullshit about Hamas not having the firepower when the damage is clearly not from a JDAM proves that you’re all just making shit up and regurgitating nonsense. Also Hamas didn’t shoot the rocket either, Islamic Jihad did. But continue to trust terrorist words over evidence. It’s going really well for you so far.

        Again: So there is a sound comparison of two videoclips with no information whatsoever when they were created and what they are showing.

        Why is that proof for anything?

        If it was a misfire, it could still have been full of fuel, could that have had an effect?
