> How much damage has those Russian and Iranian built rockets done in Israel?
Enough for Israel to build Iron Dome. Iron Dome literally exists because these "poor militants with handguns" were firing hundreds of rockets per month at targets in Israel. From Wikipedia:

In January 2008 the border between Gaza and Egypt was breached by Hamas. It allowed them to bring in Russian and Iranian-made rockets with a larger range. In the first half of 2008, the number of attacks rose sharply, consistently totaling several hundred per month.

The rest of your message is a non-sequitur on top of non-sequitur.
Hamas is not, and never has been "militants with handguns". They are, and have always been, a well organised organisation with huge funding.
Agan. Wikipedia.

Hamas has reportedly accumulated over $12 million per month from taxes on goods imported from Egypt into Gaza as of 2021. Iran provides some $100 million annually to Hamas and other Palestinian groups

These are just some estimates. Actual numbers are likely to be significantly higher.
> 100 million annually to Hamas and other Palestinian groups
Oh my goodness. 100 million? They can afford one tenth of a JSF!
To just immediately quote the first thing that google spit out in it’s AI search thing:
> A mid-size hospital (defined as having 100 to 499 beds) typically has an annual operating budget of several hundred million dollars.
After some research, it seems that the budget of Israel’s military is about 3x Hamas’s entire annual operating budget.
