Recently read the article on the alleged launch site of the rockets from Batam is approximately 18km away. Say, a range of 20 km would require the height of the rocket to hit 5 km at the peak when fired at 45 angle.

Easily attainable?
 
cheapest, easiest to assemble makeshift rocket that is popular in gaza is the qassam rocket, but its range is limited at 16 km.

Qassam 1: 35 kg; Qassam 2: 40 kg; Qassam 3: 50 kg; Qassam 4: 40–50 kg
Length Qassam 1: 180 cm; Qassam 2: 180 cm; Qassam 3: 220 cm; Qassam 4: 244 cm
Diameter Qassam 1: 11.5 cm; Qassam 2: 11.5 cm; Qassam 3: 11.5 cm; Qassam 4: 11.5 cm
Warhead Explosive material with metal bearings; standard explosive material
Warhead weight Qassam 1: 5 kg; Qassam 2: 10 kg; Qassam 3: 20 kg; Qassam 4:~10 kg

Combat engineer of the SAF, a force to reckon with in defence of our land.
 
russian made grad rockets now available on the black market falling into syrian rebel hands. at least 20km range. can go up to 40km with better precision than qassam rockets. 40 rockets in one pod.

Those Indo terrorists capable of getting hardwares like that?
Those Qassam-look-alike seemed more probable...

yup, luggage too big for check-in. :p

homemade qassam rockets are more likely. largest item which is pipe for plumbing can be obtained easily at local warehouse for construction projects. explosives can be made from farming and factory chemicals and materials.
