Does anyone know why their rockets are so inaccurate?

No guidance at all. Plus, unlike more modern artillery rockets, they don't spin for stability. In addition everything is made by hand. So tolerances stick. To cap it all off, it is unlikely that the grain(fuel) is perfectly symmetrical. It is a rectangular solid stuffed in a pipe, so it burns on 4 sides and likely not evenly.


Thanks for the explanation.

The rockets that are not hand made must come from another country like Iran. I don't understand why those donor countries don't give them a guidance system so that they have a reasonable chance of hitting a predesignated target. Otherwise this deadly exercise is a wasteful gambit. And if Hamas thinks they are gaining world sympathy by encouraging Israeli genocide of Pals, they are sadly mistaken.
