Over 19,000 Unguided Rockets Fired Into Israel Since Oct 7

19,000 unguided rockets launched indiscriminately into Israel to try to kill as many Jews as possible since Oct 7. People scream for the Jews to put down their defensive weapons, but those same people never call for the Muslims to put down their offensive ones. Where are the cries of 'war crimes!' or 'genocide!'??? *crickets* from the usual suspects.


Over 19,000 Unguided Rockets Fired Into Israel Since Oct 7

More than 19,000 unguided rockets have been fired into Israel since the Oct. 7 attacks, the IDF announced in a statement on Monday. While most of the rockets were launched from the Gaza Strip by Iranian proxies Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), rocket attacks from Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon have been rapidly increasing on Israel's northern border in recent months.

In addition, scores of guided anti-tank missiles have been fired at Israel by Hezbollah, while hundreds of rockets launched by the terrorist groups in Gaza have misfired and landed inside the Strip. The Hezbollah attacks have sparked wildfires in northern Israel, causing much destruction.

The Israeli military also published data on Monday revealing that more than 150 drones had been downed by the Israeli Air Force (IAF) using the ground-based Iron Dome. Many more drones have been shot down by fighter jets, according to the IAF.

Doesn't seem as if Hamass really wants a ceasefire.
As long as they have human shields...they feel very brave.

Makes you wonder why they don't just send some directly to Iran. Make them stop playing the proxy game. And Israel needs to up it's propaganda game. They are being beaten by pimple faced kids on tick tock.

19K unreliable, unguided rockets is more symbolic than tactical...

it might attract young males into joining the militant forces at that entry level of involvement

the War Dreadnaught machine requires buckets of Blood-Sweat-Tears to keep churning out destruction

It's an effort to terrorize and mass kill Jews.
Nothing 'symbolic' about it.

Right!?! It's not like they're shooting fireworks over Israel. If it wasn't for their expensive defense system, there could be a lot of casualties.

a reply to: network dude

Maybe to avoid a direct war with them and possibly Russia and China?

Must be costing America a fortune to shoot them all down.

Oy vey !

a reply to: FlyersFan

That's it? 19,000 rockets over 9 months? That's really not as much as you think it is.

After all, Israel killed almost 40,000 people in Gaza, two thirds women and children.

That's two human beings for every rocket fired.

a reply to: WannabeeAuCourant

Those trivializing this should spend some time in Israel.

t.me...

Those aren't holiday fireworks—Israeli defense systems are intercepting Hezbollah rockets to protect people in northern Israel.

This is the reality in northern Israel right now.

It beats being in Gaza, right?

______________

edit: Let's put things into perspective: Israel has killed almost 40,000 people in 9 months, through military action only. So that's about 20 people per day killed.

And Gaza is officially in famine right now. World experts have concluded that all preconditions to declare famine have been met. Let's see what those are:

20 percent of families face extreme food shortage; at least 30 percent of children suffer from acute malnutrition; and the daily death rate exceeds two out of 10,000 people.

There are over 2,000,000 people in Gaza. If more than 2 for every 10,000 are dying every day due to famine, that means that more than 400 people are dying every day due to starvation. Every three days in Gaza, as many people die from starvation as have been killed on October 7. Every 3 days!

That's on top of the 20 per day killed in military action.

Where would you rather be on a daily basis, in Israel or in Gaza?

Germany lost many more civilians than Britain during WW2. Does that make them the victims too?

a reply to: NorthOS

Agreed

Amazing how Hamas supporters try to deflect .. and how they are always wrong. That's Hamas propaganda you are spewing. BTW ... Those rockets fired at Israel are OFFENSIVE. Israel firing at Hamas is DEFENSIVE. Big difference.

UN Halves Estimate of Women and Children Killed in Gaza.

The UN also highlighted that the plurality of identified fatalities were men (40%), while children were (32%) and women (20%).

UN Halves Estimate of Women and Children Killed in Gaza

The United Nations seemingly halved the estimated number of women and children killed in Gaza, according to UN data published on May 6 and 8. The UN published the number of fatalities reported by the Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health or the Government Media Office in Gaza and Israeli authorities. The UN provided a disclaimer below the data: "The UN has so far not been able to produce independent, comprehensive, and verified casualty figures."

On May 6, the UN published data showing that 34,735 people had reportedly been killed in Gaza, including over 9,500 women and over 14,500 children. On May 8, the UN published data showing 34,844 people had reportedly been killed, including 4,959 women and 7,797 children.

The new figures showed the number of identified deaths as of April 30, which total 24,686 people; the new data also specified that 10,006 men had been killed and 1,924 elderly.

NOW ... add to that new 24,686 figure the fact that Israel says it estimates 12,000 dead Hamas fighters. If they are close to being correct, that leaves 12,686 civilian casualties. Men, women and children. VERY different from the figure of 34,000 dead women and children that Hamas is trying to bamboozle people with. And the fact still remains that NONE of them would be dead if Hamas and the 'palestinians' hadn't attacked Israel and if Hamas would lay down their arms and give up the hostages. (Which I doubt any are still alive given the abuse that the freed ones were going through)

IDF Says 12000 Hamas Fighters Killed in Gaza War

The Israel Defense Forces said Monday that troops have killed some 12,000 of Hamas’s estimated 30,000 gunmen in the Gaza Strip since war erupted on October 7, after a Qatar-based official for the terror group claimed it had lost half that number — some 6,000 fighters — during the four-month-old conflict.

Hamas is also believed to have thousands of operatives who are seriously wounded and unable to fight.

Just a reminder about the fact that civilians die in war ...
and the casualties in this urban war are extremely low
(and everyone of them is the fault of Hamas and the 'palestinians')
casualties in recent wars ...

World War II - 50,000,000 Dead

World War I - 40,000,000 Dead

Vietnam War - 1,353,000 Dead

Korea War - 525,000 Dead, over 1 Million Missing

Iraq War - Over 1 Million Associated Deaths

Iran/Iraq War - 500,000 Iraqi dead and 750,000 Iranian dead

Any suffering in Gaza is the fault of Hamas and the 'palestinians'. They started the war. They could have ended it months ago. They hold the hostages. They refuse to disarm. They keep firing rockets into Israel. They continue to call for the genocide of the Jews and the destruction of Israel. Their situation is their own damn fault.

a reply to: FlyersFan

I would have read all that and would have responded, but I stopped at when you called me a Hamas supporter. I am pretty sure you read AND comprehended all my posts here on ATS, which means you are being dishonest. You know my position on Hamas and on all life in general.

Killing 400+ per day is why Netanyahu got charged for war crimes, and specifically for using starvation to inflict genocide, using starvation as a tool of war.

When this is all done and journalists and experts are allowed to go in, the death toll may rise by a 100,000 or more.

All of that is genocide.

Have a nice day FlyersFan, I am not going to respond directly to you for a while, due to your dishonesty.

You repeat the Hamas lie that Israel killed 40,000 civilians
mostly women and children.

That makes you a Hamas supporter.

ETA - there aren't 40,000 dead.
it's not mostly women and children.
And any dead are the fault of Hamas and the Palestinians.
NONE of this would be happening if it wasn't for their actions.

Why is it, that when a person posts about the terrible murder of innocents, they are immediately labeled a hamas supporter???

I deplore hamas.

And i sure as hell ain't no "useful idiot" as was labelled by FF a couple of times, indirectly but it was aimed at me here.

So what label do you have again for people that are horrified by the slaughter of children?

And yes, i'll keep banging on about them no problem

How many Hamass fighters have been killed?

When people repeat the Hamas propaganda lie that there are 40,000 dead women and children, then they support Hamas. Very simple.
