>> Your point? My point is you're FOS. You said, "It is the equivalent of hurling rocks but with more range". But it is not. Rocks don't have warheads of high explosive nor do they contain shrapnel. These rockets are dangerous weapons. It is true that they have no guidance or control, but when you're using them as weapons of terror these are secondary. For the intended task (which is to cause fear and terror) these rockets are just as effective as Scuds launched from Iraq, albeit with much smaller warheads. When your objective is not do destroy targets but as a terrorist weapon, the size of the warhead is not that important and the range and accuracy are even less important. What IS important is that "rocks" don't cause significant damage and nobody in Israel is walking around in fear of rocks. As usual, you've read the material but failed to grasp the bigger picture.
