| Iran Plans to Send Fajr Missiles for Future Gaza Attacks |
| 2009-01-21 |
| Iran has begun an internal probe to examine why the Gaza-based Hamas terrorist organization failed with its numerous rocket barrages to destroy southern Israeli communities or wound more IDF soldiers during Operation Cast Lead. What's the Aryan word for "ineptitude"? The Islamic Republic, which has underwritten the cost of training and arming most of Gaza's terrorists, announced plans to ship long-range Fajr missiles into the region to resupply Hamas's depleted arsenal. If fired from Gaza, Fajr missiles, with a range of 70 kilometers (43 miles), would be capable of reaching Tel Aviv and elsewhere in the Gush Dan central region. |

| #6 It may be too big for the smuggling tunnels. It is also too big to ignore. While the Israeli government can treat Katyushas and the occasional Grad landing in the desert as an annoyance, missiles falling in Tel Aviv will demand a response. Note to HamAss: don't be surprised when the IDF shows up for the final time. |

| #4 the fajr 3 is a relatively big missile. It may be too big for the smuggling tunnels. |

| #3 Why isn't this considered a declaration of war? Because it's just one of many in recent years, and Israel hasn't retaliated yet. When Israel does, I'm sure this will be on the list. Don't count on AP, Rooters, or Al Guardian to remember it though. |

| #2 Israel should be within its rights to destroy, out of hand, any Iranian weapons shipment into Gaza along with any Iranians that come with it. IIRC the Iranians never come with the weapons- they have their training camps inside Iran and bring the fighters to them for training. Clever or cowardly? Or both... |
