Critics may bemoan this support as insufficient, or unsatisfactory. Nevertheless, it's the only support of its kind to have arrived in Gaza, although shipments have slowed since Egypt's coup regime largely closed the Rafah tunnels. (No, you didn't imagine the inferior quality of this past summer's rockets.)
