It's called saturation attacks. Don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure out the math. HAMAS fired five thousands rockets in one night. Does Israel have ten thousand Iron Dome missiles standing by ready to fire because they fire two for every incoming rocket?

How's the territorial changes looked like as of now? Did the Palestinians consolidated their holdings?
Palestinian Hamas has been slowly forced to retreat back to Gaza strip which is expected. Ultimately, the real war is Israeli military ground invasion of Gaza strip and the attempt to destroy Hamas decisively.
More importantly, if a full scale invasion and killing of Palestinians would invite Hezbollah to attack from the north. Syria and Iran might also aid Palestinians in some way.
If this escalates into a big Middle East War involving Israel, Lebanon and other actors, then It will be huge net gain for China and Russia since the west will be forced devote more attention and resources into the Middle East. These are the things it won't be able to use against China or Russia.
So, it will be interesting to see how long this crisis can last. If it becomes a long war of several years just like Ukraine, China will be praising its luck.

Nothing happens by luck alone.
