An upgraded ballistic rocket was reportedly launched Tuesday from the Gaza Strip into the Mediterranean sea, presumably to test the weapon’s capabilities and range.

The test caused loud explosion sounds that were audible in Israeli towns and cities adjacent to the Gaza border, Channel 2 reported. The rocket was an improved version of the M-75 missile with a slightly longer range and a larger warhead, the report said.

Other Israeli news outlets, citing the army, attributed the explosion sounds to ultrasonic booms caused by Israeli jets that were participating in a drill.

The "palis" are getting sophisticated weaponry from friendly Jihais in Syria and shipments from Iran.

I recommend for every one incoming 1000 outgoing rockets.

They will protest but after four or five incoming there will not be anyone to protest.

I was thinking they should drop pamphlets in public areas of Gaza saying that for every long range missile fired, artillary will be aimed at their water, power, hospitals, and schools.

The problem with Hamas’ older missiles is, they don’t have enough boost to deliver the suicide bomber to the target. Thanks Nachum.
