If the other side is going to be cheap and use crude weapons with nothing to jamb or lock on to, you are going to get hit.

The US and Israel have great defenses against all of the modern stuff, but these WWII rockets are flying through the safety net.

That’s not my department,’ says Wernher von Braun.” Parts of this war are complex, and involve millennia of past conflict. Other parts, just like unguided rockets, are as simple and predictable as gravity. Or maybe inertia is a better analogy: action, reaction; action, reaction; … Why Israel cannot see how disadvantageous its position is, is a mystery to me.
