      Misfires happen, but “rocket falls short of target on empty field” isn’t a news story; you’ll never hear about it. You’ll only hear about them when they result in tragedy.

        IDF stated that over 450 missiles from the past week launched towards Israel crashed inside Gaza. That’s a 5-10% failure rate which seems reasonable.

          A hospital that’s still standing with a bunch of burnt cars in the parking lot, while some people claim “80% destruction” and “500 dead” after taking a photoshoot in a corner of the parking lot, surrounded by like a dozen dead kids.

          It’s a tragedy. It’s also BS, just which way.
