	Talk:Qassam rocket - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The militants fire the rockets mostly from these areas because they are closer to the borders with Israel, whiich would make the rockets go deeper into Israel.
		maybe we could shoot for a summary that includes the number of rockets fired (maybe a graph with # per month) and the number of people injured and killed by the rockets, and a the number of total people killed on both sides for a little context.
		I suggest these two sections be merged - perhaps some kind of analysis of the monthly deaths and injuries resulting from the rockets, with a comparison to the monthly deaths and injuries incurred in the larger conflict.

	The Qassam Rockets
		During the initial period of the violent confrontations, the “Qassam” rocket was perceived as a “improvised pipe” whose effectiveness was doubtful.
		The effectiveness of the rockets, as a psychological weapon against a civilian population is not longer in doubt.
		In their view, the Qassam rockets are a strategic tool to deter Israel from “crossing the red line” in the Gaza Strip, or as retribution for crossing these lines.

		Qassam missiles are manufactured and deployed primarily in the Gaza Strip; however, the IDF has seized Qassam missiles in Palestinian areas of the West Bank.
		The Qassam was apparently launched from the northern-most point of the northern Gaza town of Beit Hanun (between the former Israeli comunities of Nisanit/Dugit) and traversed the longest distance of a projectile ever launched from the Gaza Strip.
		It should be noted that RPG rockets and launchers have previously been imported to the Gaza Strip via smuggling tunnels in the Rafah area.

		Qassams are relatively unsophisticated steel rockets, about four feet in length, filled with explosives and fuel.
		The rockets lack a guidance system and are launched by terrorists in nearby towns who reportedly use the rocket's trajectory and known travel distance to aim at a particular Jewish community.
		In August 2003, a Qassam traveled 5 miles from the Gaza Strip into Israel and landed near Ashkelon, the farthest a Qassam rocket has penetrated.

		In theory, the rocket brings Israeli population centres into the range of Hamas - just as Hezbollah fighters in southern Lebanon were able to target towns and villages in northern Israel.
		The rocket is launched from a pipe roughly a metre (yard) long and 120 millimetres wide using an explosive charge of four to six kilograms.
		However, the rocket's ease of assembly and low cost are part of its appeal.

	AP's Rockets and Victims
		The ongoing, unhampered firing of Qassams into Israel breaches a fundamental defensive barrier, regardless of the low accuracy that presently characterizes a Qassam salvo.
		Regarding the innocuous nature of the Qassam 2, perhaps AP would profit from a discussion with Sderot's Sima Naamat, the mother of one-year-old Shilo Naamat, who sustained injuries from a Qassam rocket that required two surgical procedures to repair broken bones this past Wednesday night.
		The fact that the Qassam rocket may be assembled in a residential building -- thereby rendering it "homemade" -- in no way lessens its deadliness, or the escalation it threatens to bring to the conflict.
