1. Fantastic!
Albrecht ,   EU   (05.22.14)
"could aid IDF in combating concealed targets in Lebanon" in a country known for its weakest army on the earth. Congratulations.
2. Precisely why the Hez rat hides after his 'victory" in 2006
Cynic ,   USA   (05.22.14)
Truth is Israel barely used any of its heavy weaponry in 2006. If true war breaks out, Lebanon will be turned into a parking lot.
3. Nice new rocket
John ,   Boise, Idaho USA   (05.22.14)
Nice.....smooth...sleek...multiples can be fired...120 kg warhead...nicely balanced.....hits above ground and underground targets...built in GPS....a little extra for the EXTRA...good job IDF...beats an ugly rider with a sword on an ugly camel any warm sunny afternoon.

It's probably redundant in the Israeli arsenal, or else already superseded. Israel doesn't offer weapons systems for sale until they are obsolete for Israeli purposes. Of course, even obsolete Israeli weapons systems far exceed anything in anyone else's arsenal. There is a growing market for precisely this type of artillery rocket, and that's the target audience. If Israel is offering for sale a rocket with a maximum range of 150 kilometers, it's a safe bet that the operative ones in the IDF's arsenal has an even greater range.
5. Who are they selling it?
Jon ,   Montreal   (05.22.14)
Israel should be extremely careful who they are selling these advanced weapons. Certain countries (such as Turkey) can not be trusted and could transfer the arm's to Israel's enemies.
6. If these rockets are so good
Sam ,   PT   (05.22.14)
why don't we fire back at the Arabs who hit Israel from Gaza?
7. Accuracy, no school, hospital safe

8. What about Sderot?
Levi Shimon   (05.22.14)
All this fancy missiles are they able to stop the rocket attacks on Sderot? How come the media has forgotten the citizens of Sderot????

Of course they can stop the missile and mortar attacks from Gaza. I don't have a problem using them for precisely this purpose, but the great unwashed throughout the world will bitch and moan because Hamas and the other terrorist rabble in Gaza launch only from heavily populated civilian areas, or schools, mosques and hospitals. I know international law well enough to state unequivocally that if missile attacks targeting civilians are launched from civilian areas, hospitals, mosques or schools, then those civilian areas, hospitals, mosques or schools instantly become legitimate military targets. The onus for civilian deaths in Gaza would rest solely upon the terrorist elements in Gaza. Israel is a sovereign state and has an affirmative duty to protect and defend its citizens and its borders. But should Israel retaliate properly, then you'll get all manner of ignoramuses crawling out from beneath their rocks and toadstools screeching "war crimes." The only war crimes are committed by "Palestinian" terrorists -- it is, after all, a war crime to fire missiles at civilian areas as provocation. Retaliation is never a war crime. The terrorist elements in Gaza are also guilty of crimes against humanity for using their own population as human shields. Truth be told, Israel should have razed Gaza to the ground years ago. It is also a war crime to actively pursue the destruction of the State of Israel. But the "Palestinians" fancy themselves immune from the laws which govern everyone else. They're not above the law. But they are beneath contempt.

"Of course, even obsolete Israeli weapons systems far exceed anything in anyone else's arsenal." -How many Aircraft Carriers? -How many Destroyers? -How many Cruisers? -How many nuclear powered Attack Submarines? -How many Heavy Bombers? -How many Stealth Aircraft? -How many of any of these things do you have that far exceeds anyone else's arsenal?
11. # 7 You are confused......
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (05.22.14)
these are not Muslim rockets.
12. How wonderful!
A ,   Belgium   (05.22.14)
But will there funds to pay people to shoot these rockets if need be? Or will they be "b'shveetah"?
13. JS # 10 So many questions....
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (05.23.14)
So far Israel has won 6 wars without any of the things you mentioned. That shows Israel is good enough they don't need them.
14. 10 JS.Each item you mentioned can
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (05.23.14)
be destroyed by a small guided missile,have you heard of General Billy Mitchell,who believed in the twenties, that 1 bomb from a plane can sink a destroyer,General Mitchell was persecuted by the navy for such heresy,as shown later,General Mitchel was right.
15. #13 and #14
JS ,   USA   (05.23.14)
You guys both missed my point. The hag you blindly admire stuck her foot in her mouth yet once again. That is all I was trying to point out. That her statement was wrong. Well it was more than wrong but we can start there.
