Hamas said to test fire 250 km-range rockets toward sea
2023-08-18
[IsraelTimes] Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, test fires rockets toward the sea, including those with a notably long range, according to a variety of reports.
Did they hit it?
Always straight to the key question, Skidmark.
The Al Mayadeen Lebanese news site says that Hamas test fired at least 50 long-range rockets toward the sea, including Ayyash 250 rockets, which it claims have a range of 250 kilometers (155 miles), which could theoretically reach all of Israel.

It claimed to fire such a rocket toward Eilat in May 2021.

The rocket was named for Yahya Ayyash, a top Hamas bombmaker who was responsible for dozens of Israeli deaths before he was assassinated in 1996.
