(Times of Israel) Mitch Ginsburg - Reports claimed that Hamas used multi-barrel rocket launchers triggered by a cellphone timer in this week's upsurge in rocket fire from Gaza. But leading Israeli missile expert Uzi Rubin said Hamas does not have sophisticated multiple-launch capabilities, and that remote-control launchers are not new. Rubin, the former head of Israel's missile defense organization, told the Times of Israel Wednesday that videos of Hamas' multi-rocket launchers actually show launchers on pick-up trucks in Libya. Rubin said Hamas' multi-launch systems are improvised, bound together and dug into pits, and are less accurate than a true multi-barrel rocket system. He added that Israel's Iron Dome missile defense system can handle a barrage. The website of the manufacturer, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, says the system can handle 20 rockets at once. 2012-10-12 00:00:00Full Article
