Palestinians fired two advanced Kassam rockets
probably Grad-style that were made in iran in pieces and reassembled in Gaza
at Ashkelon on Saturday
Feb 28
morning, in an attack that saw one projectile tear through an empty school, destroy classrooms, and spray shrapnel in all directions.
The two rockets, which were retrieved and analyzed by police sappers, had a 170-mm. diameter, which allowed for a greater amount of explosives to be packed inside.
Police on Saturday said 65 rockets and mortar shells have hit the South since the end of Operation Cast Lead on January 18, leading to four light injuries. |
