Terroristen uit Gaza lanceren Russische S-5K raketten

 

Recent rocket attacks on Israel as well as the apparent foiled terror attack near Eilat last week were part of Palestinian factions' attempts to undermine Hamas and disrupt the prisoner exchange deal negotiations with Israel, defense officials assessed.

 

Volgens een ander bericht probeert Hamas juist vanwege de zogenaamd zo vernederende gevangenenruil nu aanslagen te plegen in Israel. Er is natuurlijk altijd wel een reden voor een aanslag of ander Palestijns geweld: wel een gevangenenruil, of juist het uitblijven daarvan (om de druk op te voeren), wel Israelische concessies ('zie je wel, hoe het standvastige verzet Israel uiteindelijk op de knieën zal kunnen krijgen', en concessies worden vaak als het tonen van zwakte uitgelegd), geen concessies (we moeten wel tegen de wrede bezetter), wel onderhandelingen (druk opvoeren om meer binnen te halen, een beproefde taktiek van Arafat) of geen onderhandelingen (we hebben geen ander middel tegen het zo machtige Israel) etc. etc.

IDF: Palestinians launched S-5K Rocket

Dec. 6, 2009
JPost.com Staff , THE JERUSALEM POST

Palestinian terrorists in the Gaza Strip have begun launching Russian-made S-5K rockets at southern Israel, Army Radio reported on Sunday.

On Sunday morning, security forces discovered remains of a projectile that was fired by Palestinians in the central Gaza Strip.

The missile hit an open area near Kibbutz Alumim. No one was hurt in the incident and no damage was reported.

After examining the projectile, the IDF determined it was a Russian-made S5K-type rocket, intended to be fired from fighter bombers and helicopters to attack ground targets.

According to the radio station, the Palestinians altered the projectile and launched it from the ground.

A defense official told Army Radio that the use of a new rocket type proves that the weapons smuggling into the Gaza Strip is continuing at full speed.

"Iran is constantly trying to arm Hamas, and in addition to this rocket, arms such as anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles are constantly entering the Strip," the senior official was quoted as saying.

Recent rocket attacks on Israel as well as the apparent foiled terror attack near Eilat last week were part of Palestinian factions' attempts to undermine Hamas and disrupt the prisoner exchange deal negotiations with Israel, defense officials assessed.
