Gaza: Hamas Fires Fourth 'Test' Rocket in Two Days

The IDF has confirmed that Hamas fired yet another rocket from Gaza towards the Red Sea Thursday morning.

It is the fourth such launch in the past two days alone, part of a series of tests by the Islamist terrorist group to improve its rocket capabilities.

"Moments ago, #IDF Active Defense system identified a rocket launch from central #Gaza into the sea for the 4th time in the past 24 hours," the IDF announced on its Twitter feed earlier this morning.

"Indication suggests #Gaza terrorists are experimenting in order to increase rocket launching capabilities."

Since the end of Operation Protective Edge this summer - during which an estimate two thirds of Hamas's rocket arsenal was either expended or destroyed - rocket fire from the Islamist-ruled territory has all but stopped. A few isolated incidents since the ceasefire implemented at the end of August have been blamed on smaller terrorist factions.

HUH? They can still manage R&D work in the Gaza? Although, I’m sure they are for peaceful purposes only and have nothing to do with the desire to push Israel in to the sea. Or anything to do with the religion of pieces either.

At some point, they just have to be wiped out. Not something I’m calling for, just looking at the crystal ball.

The Hamas added value is in its inaccuracy. Are they testing new technology to make trajectories even more random than they are now?

They WANT their rockets to land randomly to maximize the footprint for terror.
