Hamas Manufactured Rockets in West Bank
(Ynet News) Elior Levy - A Hamas website on Wednesday published an interview with Ahmed Akram Salmi, an operative released from prison in April and returned to Gaza, who described efforts to manufacture Kassam rockets in the West Bank at the beginning of the Second Intifada. He described how rockets and explosives were produced at a facility near Ramallah. "The most obvious rocket targets were the Knesset building, Ben-Gurion Airport, and other cities, the most prominent of which was Tel Aviv," he said. The cell manufactured close to 20 "Kassam 1" rockets with a range of 5 km. ready to be fired. Then a fire erupted in the factory, detonating the explosives and ending the rocket production.
