No you can’t carpet bomb with rockets. That’s not how rockets work.

Israel is the only party engaging in this specific war crime in this conflict.

I don’t think you know, what carpet bombing is, it’s the act of „bombing“ an area with a large amount of „bombs“. Bombs is a bit confusing, as it were mainly bombs in ww2, when it was first used. But nowadays it refers to explosives in general, indifferent of the method of delivery.

Firing a barrage of the grad rocket system is as much of carped bombing as payload of a b52

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
