Hamas rocket fire slows to almost a standstill

The IDF has brought down Hamas's rocket fire substantially in recent weeks since the attack on Khan Yunis began.

 During the week of December 1-7, Hamas still managed to fire 75 rockets per day, down from hundreds of rockets per day earlier in the war. However, by December 8-14, the number of rockets from Gaza per day had dropped to 23.raeli residents of six Gaza border towns set for return home

From December 15-21, the average number of rockets dropped to 16, with the number remaining relatively steady from December 22-27.

With Hamas having already fired, by some estimates, around 13,000 rockets and in addition Israel has destroyed large numbers of Hamas rockets, rocket launchers, and areas for placing rocket launchers, the terror group has been losing its launching capabilities.

Already in late November, its capability to fire rockets from northern Gaza had dropped by 80%, and now its capabilities to fire rockets from southern Gaza has also dropped, though there is still for the time being a capability in Rafah.
