40. Militarily speaking, Grad rockets are a minor issue to Israel.
If the rockets were able to reach Tel Aviv, it may become different, but for that to happen you would have to have Iran exporting different rockets than Grads which they have as of yet have not done.

Perhaps I am jaded with the American perspective that all moves have some political undertones to them, and that most politicians will do whatever they can to get re-elected.
