(Xinhua) -- A Hamas commander said on Saturday the armed group's missiles became more accurate and would cause more pain to the Israelis. "Recently, the Ezz el-Deen al-Qassam Brigades have developed its performance and rockets," Hamas website quoted the unidentified commander as saying. "The missiles are more accurate and can cause more pain to the enemy," the commander said, adding Hamas uses "heavy mortars" when targeting settlements around the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip.
On Friday, Hamas fired a number of mortar shells, killing an Israeli woman at her house in a community to the east of Gaza Strip borders.
Meanwhile, the commander threatened Israel, especially residents of Sderot city, with more rockets. The city, one km to northeast Gaza Strip, is a frequent target of homemade Palestinian rockets. "The settlers there will not enjoy safety as long as our people don't have it," he said. |
