2 Qassam rockets land in Sderot area

'Color Red' alert activated in southern town, one rocket lands near cemetery. Woman suffers from anxiety

Saturday night attack: Two Qassams landed in open areas in the Sderot area Saturday night, shortly after the "Color Red" alert system was activated in the rocket-battered southern town.

 

One rocket landed near a cemetery in the area while the second one landed in a nearby agricultural zone. One woman suffered from anxiety in the wake of the attack.

 

Last week, a few hours after the deadly terror attack at the Nahal Oz fuel terminal, terrorists fired two Qassam rockets at southern communities.

 

Terror groups in the Gaza Strip continue to stockpile rockets and mortar shells, including some armaments made in Iran. Islamic Jihad is producing rockets that have a range of 20 kilometers (roughly 13 miles) and are equipped with a warhead that is much more lethal than a regular Qassam rocket, as it contains twice as much explosive material, according to information acquired by the IDF.

 

As it turns out, following IDF operation "Warm Winter" terror groups made use of at least three new rockets that are more lethal than the Qassam.
