10 km is the maximum range according to wikipedia
YOU LOVE ME!"
AW Shucks!! Now don't tell def. She can get me... ;0)
to be honest, right after 9/11, the message to americans should not have been "go about your daily lives, shop and spend money". there needed to be more of an attempt to connect americans to this struggle. not people like us, we are plugged in. and certainly those in the military, national guard, and their families, who are directly involved - are plugged in. but the generic sheeple are not - their only reality is what goes on in their daily lives everyday.
Where did they launch from?
Youze guys need to learn some geography: Launched from Gaza, from which the Palestinians have launched multple rockets on an almost daily basis since Israel withdrew from Gaza. sometimes 20-30 a day. This is old news, often not even reported in the US. The Western Negev town of Sderot has been virtually shut down for the past 4 months. Fortunately, the Qassam has only a 4-mile range and is highly inaccurate.
Thanks for the links, TexKat~!
Where is the coverage? It seems odd the media is downplaying this as a skirmish.
The wikipedia article's last launch date is listed as July 6th.
LOL!
Very true...
Found this site .. not sure how accurate it is though
