The purpose of Qassam rockets isn’t to inflict casualties- it is to disrupt normal everyday routine, which Israel has been doing to Gaza for 75 years.

They rarely kill anyone. But they do cause Iron Dome to fire very expensive counter-missiles.

Exactly. Given the limited materiel that Hamas has, if their primary objective was to “kill Jews” firing a large number of small, poorly aimed rockets vaguely Northeastward is an incredibly inefficient way of doing it.
