Gaza militants may be firing a new type of rocket into Israel, police say
The rocket which was fired into Israel early Saturday morning was not a Qassam, but may be a more advanced type of projectile which had been smuggled into the Gaza Strip, police officials told Haaretz.

The officials were referring to a rocket, which was initially reported to be a Qassam, that had failed to explode after being launched by Gaza militants into the western Negev earlier in the day.

The rocket, police said, may have been a new, more precise standard issue rocket, as opposed to the local home-made Qassams, one which would have to have been smuggled into the Strip.

The projectile was transferred to a police laboratory in order to see if it indeed is of a different type than those fired into Israel until now.

1. I'm surprised that the Palestinians are not using trebuchets to
launch crap on Israel.

My order of debris flinging would be;
1. Poop
2. Old burning spare tires.
3. Old refrigerators
4. Yugos
5. and more poop.

That's how I would do it.

2. Gaza needs nuclear missiles to be on equal footing with Israel's war machine
Any other kind of projectile just won't do it.
