IAF claims to halve Hamas arsenals

IAF’s destruction of up to 50 percent of Hamas’ rocket arsenals was cited as a reason for the relatively small number of rocket attacks on Israel. The claim seems exaggerated, as no major post-operation explosions were reported in Gaza; apparently, no large ammo depots were hit. IAF strikes damaged Hamas’ ability to produce new Kassam rockets, but it would take very little time to restore the metal workshops. The relative lull in rocket attacks is attributable to Hamas’ confusion.
