Yesterday morning, (Wednesday), Joint Forces of the ‘Barak’ battalion of the Golani Brigade, the ‘Akevot Habarzel’ formation of the Aramored Corps, and a special Combat Engineering force uncovered this morning 4 Qassam rocket launchers, in an industrial zone near Beit Hanoun . The forces were conducting initiative operations against the acts of terror which originate in the Gaza Strip.

“In Beit Hanoun there is a large cowshed. The squad which launched the rockets laid four platforms to launch missiles, which were found adjacent to the cowshed. They used these to fire the rockets into Israeli settlerments, at Sderot, and the surrounding area,” said Captain Avichai Za’afarni, a company commander in the Golani Brigade force which took part in the operation. In total, eleven Qassam launchers were uncovered today in total.
