(Ynet News) Ron Ben-Yishai - The current flare-up in Gaza is characterized by new methods of warfare used by both sides. Hamas, Islamic Jihad and other smaller terror groups have introduced a new locally-produced rocket which can reach only a few kilometers into Israel but is tipped with a uniquely heavy warhead. These rockets - called Burkan - were first developed in Syria and their warheads usually contain dozens of kilograms of explosives. The terror groups thought the rocket would surprise the residents of Israeli communities near the Gaza border, but due to the rockets' lack of precision, most of them landed in open spaces or failed to make it into Israeli territory altogether. The IDF has attacked almost exclusively what are labeled "power targets." These include multi-storey buildings with military installations, buildings serving as headquarters for the terror groups, and even private homes of the factions' leaders, leaving them without a roof over their heads on the eve of the Ramadan holiday. The IDF also strikes terror cells launching rockets and has killed at least eight terror operatives.2019-05-06 00:00:00Full Article
