Palestinan Groups Threaten Israel with Long-Range Missiles that May Have Been Smuggled from Egypt

Three armed Palestinian groups in the Gaza Strip on Monday threatened to continue their attacks on Israel and said they have long-range missiles capable of reaching more Israeli towns and cities. The Aksa Martyrs Brigades, the armed wing of Fatah, claimed it possessed Grad missiles with a range of 25 km. The 122-mm. Grad missile, officially known as BM-21, was first used by the Soviet Red Army in 1963. The Popular Resistance Committees claimed its members had developed a homemade rocket with a range of 15 km.

I have been warning since August that this would be the main post-Gaza withrawal goal of the Palestinians--arming Gaza as a world terror hub, and then creating arms canals to Judea and central Israel. The Rafah border-crossing deal was an Israeli capitulation on every strategic front. Eventually the goal is to create this nightmare scenario. Other essential IRIS security maps are here.
