IDF finds two rockets in process of assembly in Nablus

[oberliner]

Israel Defense Forces troops operating in the West Bank city of Nablus discovered Thursday evening two rockets that were in the process of being assembled.

The rockets, which resemble the Qassam rocket that has plagued communities along the Gaza Strip for years, already had fins and rods that were apparently intended to function as a launcher.

There have been several attempts in recent years to fire rockets at Israel from the West Bank, although in the past the rockets have only traveled a few dozen meters.

A military source said the secret cache was discovered thanks to IDF's freedom of operation in the West Bank, which has allowed it to thwart Palestinian attempts to develop rockets in the area.

1. dumb and dumber...

just as the suicide bombers made their lives more miserable with the wall and massive increase of checkpoints....now they're going to be shooting katushas on Ashkelon and possibly kassams on jerusalem....and their lives will get even more miserable as the IDF reacts......


and when the IDF figures out how to stop them...the conplaints will start about the IDF's heavy hand, forgetting why it was needed in the first place....

2. Short of genocide the IDF

will never stop them, although I am sure they (IDF) will have many chances for "giddy" celebration.

if there is no stopping them?

5. Where was I

"pushing a one state solution"? Increasing militarization and land grabbing will not bring peace, and seeing that the post I was answering seemed to push the increased military intervention, the land grab has been happening any way I do not seem to be the looking for a "one state solution"
