New Hamas Weapon Alters Strategic Balance along Gaza-Israel Border
(Fox News) Leland Vittert - Hamas' recent use of a Russian-made, laser-guided anti-tank missile against a school bus marks a clear change in the strategic balance along the Gaza-Israel border, putting in danger tens of thousands of Israelis who drive on roads with a line of sight view from Gaza. Hamas has now shown a willingness to use a next-generation weapon against a civilian target. "Everybody should bear in mind that if this missile would have been fired five minutes before (when the bus was filled with children), we would have been witnessing a full-scale war between Israel and the Gaza Strip today," said Israeli security expert Ronen Bergman.
