Ashkelon Is in the Sights of Gazan Kassam Rocket Crews

(Jerusalem Post) Editorial - Two Kassam rockets shattered the twilight calm Sunday in the western Negev's Moshav Shuva, near Netivot. A more powerful Kassam than the rockets hitherto fired from Gaza into Israel hit an avocado grove in a moshav near Ashkelon on Friday. Five other Kassams struck the western Negev, Sderot, and Nahal Oz over the weekend. Gaza's terror machinery has not remained idle during Israel's disengagement process. Perhaps with the assistance of greatly increased access to Egypt, Kassams are being upgraded and tested with impunity in an effort to increase range and deadliness. The fact that the terrorists can get right up to areas in the northern Gaza Strip that were inaccessible to them prior to disengagement automatically increases range. Ashkelon is in the sights of Gazan Kassam crews, with its industrial zone that includes the Rutenberg Power Station, the Eilat-Ashkelon oil pipeline, and a storage facility for hundreds of tons of fuel and gas.
