Terror Groups Threaten to Bombard Central Israel with Kassams

The Popular Resistance Committees (PRC), a terror group from Gaza, is working to open up an eastern front against Israel, based on firing Kassam rockets from Judea and Samaria into central Israel.
The armed wing of the Fatah party, the Al-Aksa Brigades, and the PRC are joining forces to smuggle the Kassam rocket technology from Gaza into Judea and Samaria. The two groups said they would step up their efforts in response to last night’s Israel Air Force strike in northern Gaza which resulted in the deaths of three terrorists from the Al-Aksa Brigades.
The groups said in an announcement that their response would be “everywhere the occupation exists,” meaning in this context, everywhere within the State of Israel.
Since Israel’s withdrawal from the Gaza district last August, one of the main strategic goals of the terrorist organizations based in the Palestinian Authority is to threaten central Israel with Kassam rockets.
Abu Al-Sa’ad, commander of the PRC in northern Gaza, said in an interview for an Internet site run by the Islamic Jihad that his group was planning on expanding “military” operations against Israel in the near future.
He said his goal was to open an eastern front against the Jewish state from Judea and Samaria, a region located due east of Israel’s densely populated and heavily industrialized coastal plain.
Since the 1995 Olso accords, much of that area has been ruled by the Palestinian Authority. Israel has repeatedly accused the PA of providing terrorists with bases to carry out attacks against Israel.
Al-Sa’ad said that the Kassam rocket has proved itself as an important and effective weapon in the struggle against Israel during the most recent intifada or Arab uprising, also known as the Oslo War, which began in September 2000. During that war, thousands of Kassams were fired from Gaza into Gush Katif. Since the Israeli withdrawal last August, Jewish towns and kibbutzim in the western Negev have borne the brunt of the Kassam attacks.
In contrast to Gaza, there has been documentation of only one Kassam missile fired from Judea and Samaria. That incident reportedly occurred in December 2005, when a Kassam-1 rocket was fired by Fatah terrorists towards Afula, an Israeli city in the Jezreel Vally, north of Samaria.
Israel is spending billions of dollars building a controversial security barrier roughly along the pre-1967 cease-fire lines as a means of preventing terrorists from infiltrating into central Israel. The use of Kassams to attack Israeli targets on the coastal plain could severely reduce the barrier’s effectiveness as a security palliative.
A few months ago, IDF troops captured PRC terrorists as they attempted to infiltrate into Israel from Egypt. The terrorists had intended to reach Judea and Samaria in order to develop the infrastructure for firing more sophisticated Kassam rockets into central Israel.
Al-Sa’ad said his group was not deterred by the IDF’s policy of eliminating terrorist leaders. He said the assassinations only serve to strengthen their resolve and desire for revenge against Israel.
The PRC, he said, was engaged in a jihad, or holy war, to liberate all of “Palestine”, from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, leaving no room for the Jewish state.
In May 2004, PRC terrorists murdered Tali Hatuel and her four daughters, as they were driving from Gush Katif to Ashkelon. The Islamic Jihad also took credit for the quintuple murder. |
