(AP-Miami Herald) Fares Akram - Over more than a decade, the Islamic militant Hamas group has built up a large arsenal of rockets in Gaza that can strike virtually anywhere in Israel.

The rocket fired on Monday flew 120 km. (70 miles) before it slammed into a house in central Israel.

They include guided anti-tank missiles and shoulder-launched anti-aircraft missiles, both produced by Russia, as well as drones.
