The creation and launching of kassam rockets
2004-07-14
Terror organizations are creating a new strategic means of war against the State of Israel in order to kill civilians. The IDF and security forces are working assertively via sea, air and land to prevent the ability of the firing of kassam rockets into Israeli territory. These means of terror are being made and launched from the Gaza Strip by terrorist organizations in support from international terrorism.
Statistics of Kassam rockets launchings since 29 September 2000:

Over 300 Kassam rockets launched into Israeli territory of which of 70 landed in the city of Sderot. This year 19 landed in Sderot claiming two civilan lives.
Further, you will find the main army forces in the previous month that have destroyed the capabilities of making kassam rockets. During June 2004, the security forces attacked many lathes used to manufacture weapons to facilitate attacks against IDF soldiers and Israeli civilians.

#3  Doesn't Israel have JDAM capabilities now? They have mainly been using hellfire missles launched from helicopters up to now.

#2  massive and long range rocket barrages on Israel would be responded to in a way that the surviving Paleos would describe as excessive, I'm sure
