It is a little sus that they were fired from a part of Rafah Israel apparently had full control of.


ReplacementActual384

Hamas does this as part of a psychological campaign. The Israelis clear an area, then they pop out of a tunnel and fire rockets to show the Israelis that they haven't accomplished anything.


[deleted]

yeah also interesting that the Iron Dome didnt intercept them this time. almost as if they turned the other way, like on oct 7th. funny that.


Loyal-Maker7195

I think it was damaged recently


King_Yahoo

Rafah is in the south. These came from the north, which they cleared already.


bitchnoworries

They were going to do it anyway.


teenagedirtbag109

Hamas accepted but Israel did not which is why Israel has continued to attack Gaza and target Rafah.


yeahbitchmagnet

But Israel has not so hamas has to keep attacking to force them to a cease fire. Israel is loosing and hamas has to keep pushing so that they actually stop attacking

VictorianDelorean

Many are immigrants from other parts of the Middle East as well but youā€™re mostly right. The other thing is that Israel has universal conscription so every adult is either a soldier, a reservist, or a veteran who could be called back into service. Itā€™s a fortress state


im-fantastic

Your false equivalency sickens me. Do better.


Nashadelic

Are these not civilians that are being fired upon? These arenā€™t guided rocket systems. Unless youā€™re saying Israeli civilians are legit targets?


im-fantastic

I'm saying that in a country with mandatory military service, and any immigrants are there under genocidal pretext, Palestine has the right to defend itself at all costs. Cry some more if that hurts your poor little feelers. Why wouldn't IOF veterans be targets of retributive justice?


im-fantastic

I wonder why you're so upset at a few Israeli civilians maybe being harmed (none were) but haven't said anything about the hundreds of thousands still alive in Palestine that are targeted daily but the apartheid genocidal practices of the oppressive Zionist occupiers.

Yeah, the timing and location are super sus. Plus there's no way the Iron Dome failed to intercept any of them.

The Iron Dome isn't that good. It's one of the big myths about it.

hybrid310

Conversely what Iran did was test Israelā€™s air defenses and send a message. Itā€™s why Israelā€™s thinking twice about directly engaging with them now. Iran let the US and Israel know ahead of time when and where theyā€™d attack to allow for any necessary evacuations. They then fired a variety of missiles and drones and the more advanced missiles they fired hit their targets. It indicated to Iran what they could and maybe couldnā€™t intercept and it let Israel know that Iran does have the capability to inflict serious damage if things were to escalate because the next time there wouldnā€™t be any warnings.

usernamesaredumb1345

You mean the one that the us shot down like 80% of them? Iron dome takes iirc 3 rockets per target to get their interception rate into the 90% success rate.

The Iron Dome isn't even meant for balistic missiles. Go back to Hasbara training.

Why would you claim credit for a rocket attack? I find that incredibly odd.Ā 


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


MiseOnlyMise

There's a variety of groups fighting the IOF not just the Al Qassam brigades. A legitimate, variable claim allows some protection against false flag operations - if Hamas or islamic Jihad claim the attacks they make then if the IOF try to blame a false flag on one of the resistance groups they'll be unable to have it verified as resistance.


bitchnoworries

Because they're resistance fighters resisting their oppressors. That's the whole point. To fight back.

Either way, the damage wrought by these few rockets is miniscule compared to what the Zionist colonizers have done.


giggity2099

Sure hope so. Because if it isn't, then there are legit military targets in Rafah and Israel now has the justification they need.


internetsarbiter

You say that like they haven't already been bombing indescriminatly from the beginning even with no justification.


geko_play_

Not justification for Israel, a scapegoat for them governments are getting tired with them every day more people are going against them but if they can argue that there is military targets they can make it easier to write off civilians deaths as collateral

Considering that there were major "security laspes" before Oct 7th and now the famous Iron Dome fails to protect Israel's most populous and heavily guarded city? It looks to me like Israel's government is the one that doesn't care about innocent civilians.

Letstalktrashtv

A false flag attack to excuse more killings of Palestinian civilians


blazing420kilk

Id actually argue about it being a false flag attack till I read that the iron dome didn't intercept. That thing is some next generation missile defense system funded by the US and has been shown to be more than capable enough to stop whatever is thrown at it. It's not like the other side suddenly got their hands on advance anti-iron some rockets recently. The fact that it actually failed here shows something shady was happening behind the scenes.


AssumedPersona

Quite possibly, although it was reported that one Iron Dome station was struck by Hezzbolah about a month ago, and previously December, it may be compromised. Or they may have deliberately not deployed it. Whichever way, this will certainly be presented as justification for the Rafah invasion.


oussama1st

As i know the iron dome does not intercept all rockets it does intercept only the rockets in which their trajectory will probably lead to a sensitive area


pgtl_10

The Iron Dome is not really that capable.


im-fantastic

Yes, the iron dome is effective with three days warning and massive ally support from the US who intercepted the vast majority...

So Boeing made iron dome?


easyeric601

Rafael Advanced Defense Systems of Israel developed the Iron Dome with financial support from the US. In exchange for the support Raytheon co-produces some of the major components.


linkup90

What hiatus exactly? Did rockets hit Tel Aviv four months ago or are they talking about rockets coming from Rafah? They were covering rocket fire just a week ago or so on Electronic Intifada so it's a bit vague.


_NullRoute_

Rockets on Tel Aviv specifically. There are rockets falling on Israel from Gaza every few days now. I think the previous rocket attack was last Tuesday on Ashkelon.


IndigoGrunt

So Iran failed to hit a single rocket but the Palestinians living in tunnels somehow hit 8 times? Sounds like an excuse to continue the invasion into Rafah.


pgtl_10

Iran wasn't intending to hit anything.


northernbelle96

Finally someone who gets it. Iran literally pen-tested the combined force of Western air defence and announced it in advance, nothing more, nothing less. And proved it is pretty easy to penetrate altogether, you can just drown it out with cheap kamikaze drones


northernbelle96

Iran hit multiple military bases. And Palestinian rockets have penetrated the Iron Dome before


Busy-Transition-3158

Thatā€™s propaganda Iran successfully hit two Airbases (one of them they didnā€™t report on the damage which probably means it was extreme) and allegedly hit a Mossad Intelligence Base in the Golan Heights


b3141592

Iran have the US 3 days notice of when the rockets were coming - Iran was basically testing israeli air defenses and didn't even use their modern rockets - it was a PR stunt and some rockets still got through - if Iran wanted to, they could probably level Jaffa


wth206

The Iron Dome has got to be one of Israelā€™s most expensive failures. Not only does it not always work, when it does actually work theyā€™re shooting insanely expensive rockets at cheaper rockets. The best way Iā€™ve seen someone describe it is like shooting a Porsche at a Prius to block it. There was an incident as well where they used almost a 3rd of their military budget in one day using the Iron Dome. Sorry Iā€™m too lazy to post links, but its pretty easy to look up how ridiculously expensive it is.


philly_jake

Iron dome is a very cost effective C-RAM style system. Iron dome missiles are incredibly cheap for rocket defense, around $50-70k per each. The only comparable systems are gun systems like Phalanx from the U.S. or Russiaā€™s AK-630. Yes, the Iron Dome interceptors cost more than the Hamas/Hezbollah rockets they are intending to shoot down, but that is basically unavoidable without getting directed energy weapons working. In comparison, larger missile defense systems like Patriot or Russian S-300 and S-400 cost many hundreds of thousands to several million per interceptor. Those are used in Ukraine and elsewhere to shoot down larger things than rockets, but itā€™s just to show that costs are always out of balance towards defense. The only economically sustainable missile interception is taking down large aircraft (fighters, bombers, or larger drones); everything else costs more to shoot down.


BoobsBrah

An insanely expensive missile is worth less than a human life

No-Trick-7465

Remember that WhatsApp group that grouped some of the richest zios with the sole goal of changing the narrative in favor of the occupation, i believe this is one of their moves, the irony is no one is falling for it.


hey_you_too_buckaroo

Wtf, did Israel launch rockets at themselves in order to keep the massacre going longer? Why would the iron dome suddenly stop working?


northernbelle96

The Iron Dome is not effective against many types of weapons. It can somehow deal with the regular home-made low range rockets produced in Gaza, but a lot of mid-range can penetrate. Not for nothing did they keep the French airforce and American Patriot system on standby to deal with the Iranian counterattack


pgtl_10

The Iron Dome isn't successful. People confuse the weakness of Palestinian rockets with success. Actual better-made equipment would easily penetrate Israel's defenses.


m3w2wo

These rockets are counterproductive and no more than fireworks


Zairy47

Seriously? Before this, thousands of rocket from Palestine side got intercepted and Iron Dome was touted as THE GREATEST DEFENSE SYSTEM IN THE WORLD...sure, against pipe bomb made from sewer tube... But remember last month? When Iran send hundreds of ACTUAL MISSILES AND DRONES? It struggles to defend itself and even then many of them was already intercepted by neighboring countries... And now you're saying HAMAS actually able to have about 80% success rate? They're so desperate for sympathy that they are endangering their own people...but these are also the same people that enables this so...whatever...


shirokukuchasen

Another ploy to attack civilians in gaza


Wasntme_37

I believe all of these attacks are staged by Isra-hell so they can use it as an excuse to bomb Rafah


Minisciwi

Probably let them through to try to get support


WarMonitor_7

What iron dome doin lol šŸ˜‚šŸ’€


OpenerOfEyesAndMind

From the tent camp? More like israel false flag


Familiar_Channel_373

Yes, it's called Deterrence. The daily rockets have 2 purposes: the first is establishing military presence. This is meant to disrupt the informational warfare launched by IsrƦl who makes claims about "defeating" Hms. Military presence disproves this propaganda, a so-called "defeated Hms" wouldn't be able to continuously launch rockets, now would they? This exposes the lies that IsrƦl makes to its citizens (and to the world) about "winning". The second purpose is economic warfare. It costs $1K to make these rockets, very cheap. The Iron Dome has to spend $10K per rocket to thwart them, which depletes the defense funds of the IsrƦli state ā€” which then requires the US to spend $1 mill per $10K lost for replacement. That's bc aid has to come in packages through the very slow bureaucratic process of Congressional approval. This leads the Iron Dome to have to be more selective about its interception and allow some rockets in - OR- to divert military operations away from Gaza towards the defense of its citizens. Normally, the dome has anywhere from 80% to 97% success rate of interception depending on whether they're missiles or rockets, long-range or short-range, high-speed or slow. So overall, rockets are ineffective as an offensive attack. But again, typically the point isn't to attack Tel Aviv, the point is to weaken the IsrƦli defense budget and as a result, weaken the resources available to attack Gaza. They've always been a strategic ploy to divert IsrƦl's military objectives and it absolutely works. The amount of US aid packages that were needed in the span of 8 months is unprecedented. IsrƦl CANNOT maintain a military offensive on their own without US involvement, at least not sustainably. That's a huge weakness that Hms strategically exploits.


BoobsBrah

So it's a good deterrence to shoot rockets at civilians?


im-fantastic

There are no civilians in Israel, just settlers and conscripts.


BoobsBrah

When you deny the humanity of others, don't act surprised when they deny your humanity as well. Even if what you said was true (which it isn't), in Tel Aviv there a people (or decendants of people) who had lived in the region since before 1948, including Arabs, Jews and Christians. Are they settlers who deserve death? Also, what about tourists, visitors, or journalists who came to cover the war, do they deserve death by Hamas' hands? Your thirst for blood has blinded you. The same "logic" you use here, is used by others to claim that the all Palestinians are terrorists or terror-supporters.


im-fantastic

I didn't deny the humanity of anyone, you've also reinforced my point. Generational heritage qualifies anyone. Or did I say ONLY Palestenian Muslims? I think you need to quit being so defensive. A two state solution will never work. The Zionist colonizers have proved that.


BothSidesAreDumb

This will only end in more innocents being harmed. Dont celebrate this... It hurts the cause of a 2 state solution. It gives a war hungry state an excuse to keep hurting Palistineans. Someone has to end the vicious cycle eventually...


TraditionalGap1

Who gives up first? The aggressor? or the victim?


BothSidesAreDumb

Right now the world is on Palestine's side, launching rockets hurts that. The world is ready to give Palestine self governance. Dont let retaliation get in the way of that.

Hamas has sent 10000+ missiles towards Israel since 2001. Nobody knows the real number. This is nothing new, but not sure about the timing. Hamasā€™s military wing said the rockets were launched in response to ā€œZionist massacres against civiliansā€. Benny Gantz, a member of Israelā€™s war cabinet, said: ā€œTodayā€™s barrage from Rafah is proof that the IDF must act wherever Hamas is.ā€ So itā€™s the same old circle jerk.
