Questions about those rockets from Gaza

It’s hard to know the truth about the actual number of rockets shot from Gaza into Israel. It’s harder to know what these rockets actually are: are they rocket torpedos that can take out buildings in a single blast or souped up petrol bombs or just balloon rockets filled with water? It’s hardest to understand how Gaza, which is under siege & unable to get food, medicines, & other basic supplies, is managing to stock pile an entire arsenal of rockets. How the hell are they smuggling heavy artillery into Gaza? There have been media reports that Palestinians smuggle them in through the tunnels on the Gaza-Egypt border. Rockets are big suckers so could someone explain how you get them through narrow tunnels without blowing yourself & the tunnels up? Or how they get them past the Egyptian military patrolling those tunnels? There was even a report that some of the rockets coming this week from Gaza were made in Iran. Could someone explain how Iran delivered them into Gaza? Did it bypass Israeli aircraft & just airlift or parachute them into Gaza to get around the barrier wall? And lastly, how the hell are these “militants” transporting them to the Israeli border without Israel’s surveillance aircraft spotting them?

Even more confusing, why is there so little evidence of these rocket’s red blare in Israel? One can find hundreds & hundreds of photos showing the human carnage & building damage from Israeli bombing in Gaza going back several years. It’s nearly impossible to find more than a few photos of property damage in Israel from Palestinian “rockets” or even articles describing these alleged incidents reportedly numbering in the thousands which are killing Israeli citizens. If anyone has information to the contrary, we are all ears. If there’s actual evidence, bring it on. But until there is a shred of evidence, the rocket bombardment of Israel by residents of Gaza is just hearsay not admissible in a court of law.
