Hamas claims to have hit major Israeli airbase
(AKI) - Rockets fired by Hamas militants on Friday struck Tel Nof, a major Israeli airbase near Tel Aviv, the group's military wing the Ezzedin al-Qassam Brigades claimed on its Al-Aqsa TV channel. The alleged rocket strike came after Israeli firepower continued to pound the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip on the 14th day of Operation Cast Lead. "With the help of Allah, we at 8 a.m. this morning managed to penetrate the furthest north into Israel that our rockets have yet reached," said the Ezzedin al-Qassam Brigades. Tel Nof airbase is located just 27 kilometres from Tel Aviv and houses a number of Israeli fighter and helicopter squadrons. Israel allegedly stores its nuclear weapons around the base.
