    Some go through - a very small minority. One hit a pipeline, for example (it's still burning). Another a car. A few Israeli casualties thus far (far far less than Palestinian ones of course). But then again it's easy enough to produce hundreds of the things - it's basically a steel cylinder with a solid sugar + fertilizer propulsion block at the bottom; and a TNT or fertilizer payload with a fuse that's basically a nail and a bullet. The estimated cost for each is at most ~800$, potentially much less. Meanwhile one iron dome missile costs like 40000$.

    And also, even if they don't hit they can have an impact disruption-wise: they had to close Ben Gurion airport because of them a few hours ago, for example. And right now there are large measures in the whole of Israel (schools closed, working only from shelters, etc.).
