So its been two days of researching, and investigating the cause of the latest Israeli Palentiniian conflict, and i dont like my findings. There will be no exposition on this one. It will be too provocative. All i can touch on is the weapons both sides are using on each other.
Hamas Strategic Rocket Forces are on a scale that dwarves the arsenal of most African militaries. Hamas spends $100 million a year on military infrastructure. These guys dont play around.
They have rockets like the A-120 with a maximum range from to 120 km.
We have the Qassam missile Brigades, the armed wing of the Hamas terror movement anf thr Qassam long range missile.
The S-40 rockets (with a 40-km range), also launched via 8-tube launchers, were used. These rockets are stored in underground silos, sunk into the sand to hide them from Israeli reconnaissance aircraft. They are taken out of the silos, put into launcher tubes, and fired.

Hamas also uses BM-21 Grad rockets.Apart from rockets, Hamas has used Anti Tank Guided Missiles against IDF
For ISRAEL the most spectacular weapon has to be the Iron Dome Missile Defence System. This system as a 90% success rate. I dont think theres anything in the world that can match this.
Of course the F-15 and F-16s is the IAF primary means of delivering ordnance.
Israel also has the recently aquired F-35 fighter. The only 5th Gen fighter in the region. But this was aquired with Iran in mind.
