Katyusha that Hit Netivot was 'Grad' Type(IsraelNN.com) The rocket fired at Netivot Sunday morning was a "Grad" type Katyusha rocket, according to IDF sources. The IDF believes the rocket is of the same type and from the same shipment as another Katyusha that was fired at Bror Chayil while fighting raged in the north, in 2006.
Haaretz reported that the Gaza "People's Resistance Committees" took credit for the latest attack.
The Grad Katyusha's approximate range is 20 km or about 13 miles. A similar rocket was once fired at the Ashkelon Marina.
So the terrorist of Gaza have now graduated from shooting home made Qassam rockets at Israel to now using Katuyusha with their longer range and explosive payload.
So does Olmert admit the Gaza retreat was a failure and tell George Bush thanks but no thanks to a "peace" conference in November, no he promotes Dan Harel the general that commanded the IDF in the operation to rid Gaza of it's Jews to Deputy Chief of Staff of the IDF.
