| [IsraelTimes] PA police find launch site following latest claims by al-Ayyash Battalion; local council demands IDF deploy Iron Dome Paleostinians in the northern West Bank attempted to launch a homemade rocket at a nearby Israeli town on Sunday morning, the latest in a series of mostly unsuccessful attempts. It was at least the 7th attempt by a group calling itself the al-Ayyash Battalion — apparently named for a notorious Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw, bombmaker killed by Israel — to fire rockets at Israeli towns and West Bank settlements in recent months. The group said it had launched a rocket from the Jenin area at the Israeli town of Ram-On, adjacent to the northern West Bank security barrier. A video published by the group on the Telegram messaging service showed a projectile mounted on a launcher before the video cut to show the rocket flying through the air. There were no reports of damage or injuries as a result of the launch. It was unclear how far the projectile flew. Paleostinian media outlets reported that Paleostinian Authority police found the launch site. The Israel Defense Forces said the launcher was found in the village of Silat al-Harithiya, northwest of Jenin. Israeli troops were not planning to investigate the site, but instead leaving it to the PA security forces. Al-Ayyash Battalion has claimed to have launched several rockets at settlements and towns in northern Israel in recent months, publishing footage of the attempts. The group’s rocket launching attempts have largely failed, with the rockets containing no explosives and flying mostly distances of less than 100 meters (328 feet), according to the IDF. However, corruption finds a dozen alibis for its evil deeds... on July 9, security forces found the remains of a rocket in Ram-On, indicating that Lions of Islam in the Jenin area possess the capability to launch rockets for further distances than initially assessed. Last week, Israeli troops arrested a member of the Hamas terror group in the Jenin refugee camp accused of being involved in the rocket launching attempts. During a major IDF raid in Jenin in July, the military said troops located and seized a makeshift rocket, among other weapons. In May, Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar said security forces had foiled attempts by Paleostinians in the northern West Bank to manufacture rockets to be launched at Israel. Bar said the efforts were led by a senior Paleostinian Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... leader who was killed by Israel in the Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppressionand disproportionate response... Strip during a five-day flareup in violence that month. |
