"‘Any views on the Iranian proxy Hezbollah‘s rocket attack on northern Israel which killed 12 children and teenagers from the Druze community…Which affront to Palestine was this a response to?’‘This one.’(How is an attack by Lebanese Hezbollah militants, who are not Palestinian, upon Druze children, who are not Jewish, in any sense a response to Israel’s campaign in Gaza?)."Assuming that it was a Falaq-1 rocket from Hezbollah (as the IDF claim), how do you imagine that an unguided rocket could be precise enough to be aimed at the football field? "Experts say Hezbollah has a wide range of unguided heavy artillery rockets, ballistic missiles, as well as anti-aircraft, anti-tank and anti-ship missiles.Those include Falaq-1 and Falaq-2 unguided rockets, which have a range of about 11 kilometres (seven miles) -- according to a Hezbollah artillery officer interviewed by the group's al-Manar channel earlier this month.Artillery rockets, including Falaq models, "are not accurate" and "have a margin of error of up to three kilometres," according to Riad Kahwaji, head of the Institute for Near East and Gulf Military Analysis.Military analyst and retired Lebanese army general Khalil Helou said Hezbollah has Iranian ballistic missiles that it has yet to use.They include the Fateh 110, a precision-guided missile with a range of around 300 kilometres, more than sufficient to reach Tel Aviv and Jerusalem from within Lebanon.Hezbollah has expanded the size and quality of its arsenal since it last fought an all-out war with Israel in 2006."The group in 2006 reportedly had about 15,000 rockets, while unofficial estimates in recent years suggest that this number has multiplied by almost 10 times," said Dina Arakji, an associate analyst at Control Risks consultancy."Note - this report may be a reason for Israel killing tens of thousands of civilians:-"The data shows that Washington has sent over 20,000 unguided bombs, around 2,600 guided bombs, and 3,000 precision missiles. Unguided bombs, also known as “dumb bombs,” are typically less precise and kill larger numbers of civilians, especially in densely populated areas like Gaza."
