#3 A single 750-pound bomb that doesn’t explode could provide material for hundreds of rockets

"Mahmood, take this angle grinder and cut open the case of this unexploded bomb."
This could be a viable strategy given a sufficient supply of Mahmoods. Although, the work product will be a bit unstable.
I SNORTED. SOTD
In rocketry, there is a fine line between burning rapidly and burning all at once. My understanding is the Hamas home-made rockets are fueled with sugar and fertilizer, rather like a giant bottle rocket.

#7 given a sufficient supply of Mahmoods

To be fair, they have not only that but also an excess of Abeds and Abdullahs. Not all could be set to digging tunnels through the sandy soil with a spoon.

This is exactly the discussion I’d hoped for when I posted the article. Carry on.

Yep, SOTD confirmed
