Video Shows Palestinian Islamic Jihad Firing Rockets Into Israel

(October 29, 2011)

On Saturday October 29, 2011, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terrorist organization fired numerous rockets from Gaza into Israeli territory. This video shows what the P.I.J. claims is the first ever multi-barrel launch of rockets from Gaza. The method of fire - out of barrels situated atop a pickup truck - is reminicent of the way Hezbollah regularly fires katyusha rockets at Israel from inside Lebanon and may signify a significant increase in the threat capacity that rocket attacks from Gaza now hold.
