Israel’s Shin Bet security service warned Sunday that the Hamas terrorist group’s daily Qassam rocket attacks on Israeli civilians could extend far beyond their 12 km range already proven capable of hitting Ashkelon.
According to Ha’aretz correspondent Barak Ravid, the Shin Bet head Yuval Diskin warned Israeli’s cabinet that the Hamas’ ongoing arms smuggling from Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula to Gaza would lead to “rockets capable of striking beyond Ashkelon, and possibly reaching as far as Ashdod and Kiryat Gat.”
