(IsraelNN.com) The al-Aqsa Brigade of Yasser Arafat’s Fatah organization has announced the development of a longer range surface-to-surface rocket to be used in attacks against Israelis. According to the report, the rocket has a range of 55 kilometers (34 miles).

According to correspondent Haggai Huberman, the “Shahidim Brigade” based in Jenin boasts the new rocket, adding the announcement was made in the el-Bureij area of Gaza during an event marking two years since the apprehension of Fatah Tanzim leader Marwan Barghouti and the infamous Jenin battle.

The new rocket has been named “Eagle Eye” by the terror organization.

And just where, we might ask, is the "factory" where this missile is being manufactured? Inquiring (Israeli) minds want to know.

Think of where those missiles will be pointing at if Israel leaves Gaza. A fence will not protect against those things.

Arafat leads Fatah, the first time this rocket is used should be the only time. Arafat should be dead, imprisoned or exiled.

If they are made to assume room temperature, the jihadist vermin will not launch anything.

Seems to be the only way to deal with them.
They don't negotiate or give anything they only take and kill.
