This footage, taken by a civilian, shows the damage done when one of the missiles launched on 13 April 2024 by Iran against Israel hits a house. This would increase the number of successful rocket attacks during the incident from seven to eight, if the house was, in fact, in Israel, and not Iran. Yikes.

Confucius is attributed with having said “When you start out on a path of revenge, be sure to dig two graves.” I don’t know if he included inept rocketry in his analysis before penning the maxim, but given that China largely invented the rocket and its use in warfare, the chance is non-zero. Either way, it works here.
