Some questions about the Hamas rockets (vanity)

I was watching a segment on Fox about the current Hamas rocket attack on Israel. Evidently, hundreds of rockets have been launched in the past few days. Three questions occured to me.

One, where did all these rockets come from (who manufactured them)?
Two, who paid for these rockets?
Three, how did these rockets get into Gaza? Were they smuggled in from Egypt?

YOU “paid for them”!!

Via your tax dollars and the $$$BILLIONS in aid provided by Obama.

The Rockets are various sizes and shapes, but what is new are the numbers originating from Iran and Syria.
The less sophisticated rockets are built locally.

I won’t be surprised they come from a cia operation to give weapons to various terrorists. They just swap for what they want.

Most likely the rockets are from Russia...

The Grad rocket is a Russian design and may be manufactured in Gaza or smuggled in from Russia. It is an updated version of the Katyusha used by Russian army fired them in massive barrages from truck mounted launch 122mm tubes during the closing days of the allied attack on Berlin. The launchers were nicknamed Stalin's pipe organ. It (Grad) is a free flight missile using only rear fins for guidance.

We used a similar system from landing craft during the "island hopping" in the Pacific. The saturation barrage was intended to clear mine fields and concertina wire.
