First time: Qassam rockets disables Israeli security facility
Dr. Aaron Lerner Date: 16 November 2008
Yediot Ahronot correspondent Matan Tzuri reports in today's edition that
last week, for the first time, a Qassam rocket fired from the Gaza Strip hit
that yard of a "sensitive security facility that is not fortified in the
Gaza envelope area. At the time the place was empty and no one was hurt,
but damage was done to sensitive equipment by the shrapnel. As a result of
the damage, the place was closed down for several days for repairs. This
was the first time since the start of the Qassam attacks that such a
security facility was hit so hard that operation was interrupted and
equipment was damaged. Security sources in the South said that the fire was
apparently not directed to hit the facility but instead Israeli communities.
In the meantime the equipment has been repaired and it has returned to
operation.".
