Footage recorded in Gaza tonight shows a rocket barrage being fired towards Israel by Hamas. At least one of the rockets is seen malfunctioning during the launch, which is again, a very common occurrence.

When you're watching footage like this, it's super important to remember the type of munitions that Hamas is using. An overwhelming majority of their munitions are homemade or black-market purchased items. The failure rate on the rockets is extremely high, and gravity still has an impact on these weapon systems when they malfunction. That means, what goes up, must come down, and it's usually coming down inside of Gaza where civilians will be impacted.
