Journalists who continue to knowingly perpetrate the lethal nonsense that "home-made" Qassam rockets are of little danger to Israelis can skip this item. Some time yesterday, a Qassam rocket fired from Gaza reached the southern part of Ashkelon, in the vicinity of the city's cemetery and right next to the Givat Zion residential neighbourhood. The rocket itself failed to explode, but this particular dud demonstrates persuasively the steadily increasing range of the missiles used by the terror groups.
Ashkelon police say the Qassam had a 155 millimeter diameter, like those found previously. This is the furthest north that a Gaza-fired Qassam has reached until now. Ashkelon is a Mediterranean city of about 100,000 people.
