Seems at least one of the rockets was a short range slbm modeled after the Soviet Iskander solid fuel rocket. This rocket has was first displayed in a recent parade. Other rockets fired included M1991 heavy mlrs.
Gaza/Israel
Both sides ramping up their attack/counter attacks. Some rockets did get past iron dome striking residential areas.
Thanks.
On radar
Gaza/Israel
Things deteriorated overnight. Israel successfully targeted sr Hamas leadership (targeted Hamed Ahmed Khudari, a Gazan terrorist responsible for transferring Iranian funds to Hamas & PIJ in Gaza, helping fund their rocket fire at Israelis) resulting in Hamas starting to use longer range rockets. Egypt has been trying to negotiate a cease fire but Hamas is refusing to come to the table saying this is war. Israeli counter strikes are increasing and heavier. Netanyahu has cabinet meetings on longer term response. Lots of speculation that the ground invasion option may be next if Hamas doesn’t cease soon.
Timing - Ramadan starts tonight, Israel’s Memorial Day and Independence Day are next week (May 8-9).
