The website is in large part mish-mash of recycled IDF statements and less-than-reliable (and often highly partisan) press coverage. They also take at face value the often silly, grandiose claims of Palestinian radicals about weapons and their alleged capabilities. (As an aside, it was said in Gaza that when Aaraft's wife, Suha, was pregnant with their daughter, six Palestinian factions claimed responsibility... )
For example:
... is pretty revealing: anyone who knows anything about the enormous difficulty of developing an indigenous MANPAD, and the shortage of key materials (including reliable propellants and IR guidance electronics) will recognize it as extremely implausible RUMINT. Despite years of IDF claims about SAM-7s in the West Bank and Gaza, no one has yet to fire, find, or see one.In November 2004, Hamas revealed it was developing the first Palestinian anti-aircraft missile. According to Hamas operative Nizar Rayan, the missile would be used to down Israeli helicopters, UAV’s, and other aircraft operating above the Gaza Strip. Palestinian sources note the anti-aircraft missile project is based on expertise and training provided by Iran and Hizballah. Indeed, Hamas has sought to produce a variant of the Soviet-origin SA-7 - deployed by Hizbullah in southern Lebanon.
Elsewhere, the site conflates artillery rockets with anti-tank weapons, freely labels any 122mm locally-produced rocket as a "Grad" (even though they're typically made with pipe-casings and homebrew explosives that can't really be aimed and often fail to detonate), and shows a dramatic picture of a BM-21 firing although no Palestinian group in the WBG has MRLs. I could go on and on..
This isn't to say that the Palestinian rockets aren't an issue, but the website really doesn't offer any useful insight into inventories, capabilities, employment, or implications.
Oh, and they cite DEBKAfile, which I know is an OS favourite of Ted's
