Hamas test fires improved long-range missiles

Hamas fires a rocket from Gaza at southern Israel

Operation Pillar of Defense ended only two months ago, but Hamas is already preparing for the next clash with Israel. 

Palestinian media sources have reported that the military wing of the Gaza-based organization recently test fired improved long-range missiles.

According to the reports, based on information from senior sources in Hamas' military wing, the tests included the launching of two rockets with a range of dozens of kilometers. The rockets were launched toward the Mediterranean Sea off the Gazan coast from a Hamas training base located in what used to be Gush Katif (the pre-Disengagement Jewish enclave).

Hamas' rocket unit expressed satisfaction with the results of the test launches. The improved rockets were reportedly manufactured and assembled in the Gaza Strip using Iranian know-how.
