Hamas produces the vast majority of its own Qassam rockets these days, said the researcher, given the difficulties of smuggling in larger rockets into the blockaded Gaza Strip. How the group manufactures the makeshift rockets is less known. In previous battles with Israel, Hamas was known to have fired rockets made of old water pipes, the researcher noted.

Hamas dug up some water pipes beneath old abandoned Israeli settlements in Gaza for rockets...In the far past from a time Israelis controlled Gaza.

Extrapolating this event in the far past this to dismantling the actual water supply of Gaza to make rockets is a slight stretch to say the least. Especially since we have satalite images of it being destroyed by Israeli rockets

I never meant to imply or state that the bombing has no impact, or even that it isn't the most significant impact. We should be able to acknowledge that war is terrible and harms innocent civilians while also acknowledging that the governing power of Gaza has taken steps to further endanger Palestinians living there.

I have not seen Hamas damaging any water supply systems that are in use. Only Israel is doing that.

The old pipes you referred to, beneath the abandoned Israeli settlements, were not in use.
