    Carpet bombing is indiscriminately bombing a specific concentrated area oftentimes with unguided ordinance. That is neigh impossible to achieve with rockets. You could do that with missile systems but Palestine also doesn’t have many of those.

    The fact is only Israel is capable of carpet bombing in this conflict.

      How is it impossible? They have massive amounts of rockets and mortars. They are more the man capable. But the only reason you don’t learn about this, is that the iron dome is destroying them before impact

        Because rockets and mortars aren’t capable of clustering their explosions like you can with bombs and missiles?

          Cluster munitions =!= carpet bombing.

          Carpet bombing is the saturation of an area with explosives. You can use multiple rockets/bombs/etc including but not limited to cluster munitions
