IDF: Hamas Steps Up Production of Rockets in Gaza
[Ha'aretz] Amos Harel - Senior Israel Defense Forces officers believe that Hamas has succeeded in expediting its production of rockets. Senior officers say that with the smuggling into Gaza of large quantities of military-grade explosives, this has solved the problem of storing rockets for long periods without their becoming ineffective. The accumulation of thousands of rockets over time will allow Hamas, at a time of its choosing, to initiate a major and enduring bombardment of Sderot and other towns in the western Negev, just like Hizballah did by targeting the Galilee during the war in Lebanon this summer.
