How Serious Is the Palestinian Rocket Threat from Samaria?
(Israel Hayom) Nadav Shragai - Six times in the last three months, Palestinian terrorist organizations have tried to launch rockets against Jewish communities bordering on northern Samaria. Iran and Hamas are the main actors encouraging and funding the attempt to develop a credible rocket threat against Israel from Judea and Samaria. The know-how comes from Gaza. Judea and Samaria covers an area 16 times larger than Gaza. The rockets that the Palestinians are now producing there are easily transportable and can be readily concealed in a variety of hiding places. Only last week, an attempt to smuggle arms was thwarted in the northern Jordan Valley, the specific details of which are still subject to a gag order.
