‘Game-Changing’ Palestinian Missiles Alarm Zionists
TEL AVIV (Dispatches) -- An Israeli website known for its close links to the occupying regime’s military intelligence services has admitted that Hamas is now possessing "game-changing” missiles that could hit Zionist targets with considerable ease and precision.
The Debkafile said its sources had identified the type of modern missiles used by Hamas in recent attacks on the occupied territories that inflicted considerable damage and casualties and forced the Zionist regime to work out a rushed ceasefire agreement with the Palestinians.
The missiles were of the 333mm-caliber type and had a medium range of 11 kilometers, the report said, adding the missiles are capable of destroying Israel’s "artillery emplacements, Iron Dome batteries, armored force concentrations – whether over ground or in trenches, as well as combat engineering equipment and command centers”.
"It is not launched from stationary batteries, but from any combat 4×4 vehicle or jeep, each of which carries two rockets,” said the report.
Debkafile said the main advantage of the missiles is its mobility which allows Hamas to fire them from anywhere in the Gaza Strip without Israeli radars noticing them.
The report came shortly after the Zionist regime signed into a ceasefire with Hamas after facing a barrage of some 460 missiles fired within a space of 24 hours from Gaza, while left at least one dead and more than 80 Zionists injured.
Zionist war minister Avigdor Lieberman resigned after the showdown, prompting Hamas to characterize it as "an admission of defeat” and a "political victory” for the Palestinian resistance.
Lieberman said after resigning that Hamas was on its way to become a serious threat to the Zionist regime, saying in a year’s time, the group and its partner in Gaza, the Islamic Jihad Movement, would reach the military prowess of Hezbollah.
Hezbollah is the dominant resistance movement in Lebanon which has successfully defended the small country against Israeli aggression in the past.
On Friday, Hamas leader in Gaza Yahya Sinwar warned the occupying regime of Israel not to test the resistance group again.
"I advise Israel not to try and test us again. This time you did not have a lot of casualties and you managed to rescue your special forces,” said Sinwar at a memorial service for the Palestinians martyred in recent clashes.
"Whoever tests Gaza will find only death and poison. Our missiles are more precise, have a greater range and carry more explosives than in the past,” said Sinwar, adding, "Our hands are on the trigger and our eyes are open.”
Sinwar also pledged to target Tel Aviv next time should the occupying regime attack the besieged Gaza Strip.
He noted that he had spoken to Muhammad Deif, the leader of Hamas’s military wing the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades.
"Deif asked me to say that Tel Aviv and Gush Dan (the greater Tel Aviv area) are next. The first barrage to hit Tel Aviv will surprise Israel," he said.
