Qassam Kassam Rockets News Photos

Israel News Images Israel News Pictures and Israel News Photos of Qassam Kassam rockets.The Qassam also Kassam rockets is a simple steel rocket filled with explosives, produced by Hamas. Three models have been used. They are all free-flying artillery rockets lacking any guidance system.Qassams are sometimes referred to ashomemade or primitive, but require both expertise and dedicated locations to manufacture.The Gaza Strip has been separated from Israel by a security barrier since 1996, which frustrated infiltration into Israel. During its 2005 unilateral disengagement plan, Israel withdrew its civilian and military presence, retaining control over airspace and maritime access. While Qassam rockets were fired regularly even prior to the Israeli Disengagement, the absence of access to targets on the ground has increased the relevance of the rockets, since they were designed to fly over the barrier and strike Israeli targets outside the Strip. Palestinian fighters have had difficulty establishing rocket-producing and launching infrastructure in the West Bank. All photos by Rafael Ben-Ari/Chameleons Eye

ISRAELI STUDENT KILLED IN MASSIVE KASSAM ATTACK
Sderot, Israel - Wednesday February 27, 2008. At least one person was killed, several were wounded and many were treated for shock Wednesday as least 40 Qassam rockets slammed into the western Negev town of Sderot and surrounding communities. The 47-year-old man called Roni Ichyea was apparently in a car, parked next to Sapir College on the outskirts of Sderot, which was hit by a Qassam. He suffered lethal shrapnel wounds to the chest. The rocket barrage occurred hours after an Israel Air Force strike killed five Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip who were apparently planning a large scale terrorist attack against Israel after having been trained in Iran and Syria. Palestinian officials said two more people, including a civilian, were killed in a second IAF airstrike carried out immediately after the Qassam attack against Sderot.
