| [IsraelTimes] Military says projectiles aimed at Shaked ’did not pose threat to residents’; incident comes a day after remains of rocket found in town bordering West Bank barrier Paleostinians in the northern West Bank attempted to launch two homemade rockets at a nearby Israeli settlement on Monday, the latest in a series of mostly unsuccessful attempts, the military said. A group calling itself the al-Ayyash Battalion, apparently named for a notorious Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", bombmaker killed by Israel, claimed it had launched two rockets from the Jenin area at the northern West Bank settlement of Shaked. Video published by the group on Telegram showed a projectile mounted on a launcher. The footage did not show it being launched. 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. Several hours after the claim on Monday, the Israel Defense Forces said troops located two rocket launchers and two makeshift projectiles in the area. The IDF said sappers were at the scene investigating the rockets "to examine the presence of explosives." The remains and the launchers were being taken for investigation. "The rockets did not pose a threat to the residents" of Shaked, the IDF said. Al-Ayyash Battalion’s rocket launching attempts have largely failed, with the rockets containing no explosives and flying distances of less than 100 meters (328 feet), according to the IDF. Security forces found the remains of a rocket in the northern Israel town of Ram-On, which borders the West Bank security barrier, on Sunday night, indicating however that The exact date of that launch was unclear. Military sources have said there was a known suspect behind the attempts, and it was not linked to any known terror group, despite the apparent affiliation with Hamas. During a major IDF raid in the West Bank city of Jenin last week, 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 last month.
