Committee chairman MK Yuval Steinetz warned that within months Qassams could threaten Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and the coastal plain. The officer also said the Tanzim was behind 90% of last month's terror attacks, and there was information on seven operations in the Nablus region to carry out suicide attacks inside Israel.
