more powerful potentially on the gaza side than the israeli side even though you ve got the dome to intercept. is that a point of view you have? you look at what the palestinians are using. they ve got rockets. they don t have any if missiles. none of them are guided. they re fired from population centers. they can go 400 miles and bring a 500-pound warhead. that s very efficient. they can knock down some but they can t get them all. they don t have enough intercepters to do that. on the other hand israeli is bringing them in. for the israelis it s finds what to strike. for the palestinians, it s just getting enough missiles out there to hit something. do you see neighbors or other countries coming in to offer military support to either side
