The rockets are only reaching a veryimiysd diatance. Israel is a whole military state though, led by hardliners with a clear militaristic perspective on things. Everyone does military service. The whole country is modern and tech-heavy but this idea of constant war and the fear of the Palestinians fighting back against Israeli oppression and land theft (or if you believe the right-wing narrative of just defense) is shaping the entire narrative. They could have chosen peace a few times.. The key difference is still that this is perceived as an external threat. You are not scared of an average Israeli/Palestinian walking by, you are scared of 'the other'. In the US you can get shot by someone with road rage.
