Dreadful events in Israel/Gaza and I see hundreds of rockets have been fired from Gaza at Israel. Bearing in mind the Palestinians have no manufacturing facilities for such armaments, I guess they must come in by sea from Russia?

So how do they get past the Israeli ships? Surely they can't all come at night when no-one's looking, so how do they get there?

It's not just the odd one or two, I think on Saturday alone they shot 140 rockets at Israel and current estimates are that nearly two thousand have been fired since Monday 10 May.

Quick look at the map, I'd say boat from Iran to Egypt, Then through a tunnel from Rafah in Egypt into Gaza.

I often wonder if China is playing some “stirring up” game in the background.

I know they have close ties with Iran regarding rocket and missile technology.

M-302 rocket. Chinese design, made in Syria and smuggled into Gaza.

"On March 5, 2014 the Israeli Navy intercepted a shipment of “dozens” of rockets identified as “M-302" rockets aboard a cargo ship name the Klos-C in the Red Sea. The rockets were being shipped from Syria to Iran and destine for Sudan where they could be taken through Egypt to Gaza."

It’ll all be over next week, when the middle aisle changes over to their next offer on power drills.

AFAIK it's sections or irrigation pipe, filled with a mix of fertiliser-based explosives.

An awful lot of Iranian involvement.

Bellingcat have done some useful analysis on the new drones being launched.


Like most issues in the middle East, Iranian meddling plays a large part with weaponry from there ending up I. Numerous conflicts serving iranian interests.

Yemen, gaza, Iraq, Syria, lebanon
