According to Anatolia News Agency, the Israeli army has targeted thousands of rockets throughout the Gaza Strip since the beginning of its war on October 7, but some of them did not explode due to a technical defect in most cases, according to Palestinian security sources.
The agency adds that the Palestinian resistance usually uses the explosive materials in these missiles to manufacture explosive devices and explosive missile warheads, especially since they contain large quantities of explosives that often exceed a ton per missile.
