  •  Very interesting that it's PFLP (1+ / 0-)

    That's under the PLO umbrella and theoretically under Fatah.  Of course, if they're in Gaza and managed to actually get ahold of those rockets, they're actually working with Hamas.

    So Hamas has them shoot the rockets, it's a Fatah group!  Hamas isn't responsible.

    •  Another question... (0+ / 0-)

      The Katyusha rockets are bigger, more sophisticated, and thus require a more substantial manufacturing process.  

      Hamas was the last to acknowledge firing them, but it appears that now, any old faction has access to them... does this really make sense?

        That it can only be with Hamas's permission and blessing that they have these rockets..  and probably they know full well if they cross Hamas, the supply will dry up.

        Therefore, Hamas likely blessed this particular attack, breaking an 8 day ceasefire.  It's possible, hopeful even that PFLP was acting out of free agency and will be cut off from delivery of more rockets in the future since they've proved themselves irresponsible.  But that's likely wishful thinking, given the evidence we have.
