Since Israel unilaterally withdrew from the Gaza Strip in 2005, terrorists have fired more than 12,800 rockets and mortars into Israel, putting nearly one million Israeli citizens under direct, physical threat everyday.

Since 2001, this terror has left more than 30 civilians dead, 1,500 injured, and hundreds of thousands traumatized.

Hamas' arsenal (below, right) includes mortars and upgraded rockets such as the Qassam and GRAD. These weapons imperil a wide swatch of Israel's southern territory (below, left), such as Ashdod (population 200,000), Beersheba (pop. 197,000), Ashkelon (pop. 113,000), Rehovot (pop 113,000), and Sderot (pop. 22,000).
