FATAH OBTAINS KASSAM ROCKETS
2004-07-29
Fatah insurgents have acquired short-range missiles from the Islamic opposition. Palestinian sources said Fatah's Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades have received several dozens of Kassam-class short-range missiles from Hamas over the last month. The sources said the Kassam missiles were transferred to Fatah as part of operational cooperation between the two groups. "There was an assessment that Hamas activists did not have the same freedom of movement as Al Aqsa, so a transfer of missiles was arranged," a Palestinian source said. On Wednesday, Palestinian gunners fired two Kassam missiles from the Gaza Strip into Israel. The missiles were said to have landed in the western Negev desert and no injuries or damage was reported.

#2  The missiles were said to have landed in the western Negev desert and no injuries or damage was reported.

Chances are these things are more dangerous to the shooter then the shootee. But they are a "Martyrs Brigade".

#1  155mm artillery does wonderful things for urban combat. Suggest the Israelis use it frequently..
