Hezbollah Extends Rocket Range

Hezbollah's rocket arsenal now includes weapons capable of reaching the Tel Aviv-Jerusalem corridor and as far south as Beersheeba or Dimona, the Associated Press reports. The new rockets, said to be supplied by Iran, have a range of 185 miles or 300 kilometers. This interactive map gives a good sense of the distances involved. Meanwhile, Haaretz quotes Palestinian Authority sources saying that Hamas is working on upgrading the range of its Qassam arsenal. Flickr photo by Paul Keller under a Creative Commons license.
