    This is more related to defense but here goes.

    It makes a lot of difference. Rockets cost a lot of money so they don’t have unlimited numbers. The same is true for air defense systems. There’s a finite number of rockets they can intercept at any given time. Hamas already discovered that limit for Iron Dome. Now think about the attack from Iran. It took rockets and jets with rockets from at least 3 militaries to stop all of them, and that was with days of warning to prepare. If Israel was fending them off alone, they wouldn’t have stopped 99% of them. Now consider a 10000 rocket salvo.
