I have made rockets using exactly the same propellant as the qassam.

The materials are easily available in any civilized place.

The only technology which is the least bit `high-tech" is the rocket nozzle proper. Otherwise any junior high school shop can manage production - to say nothing of any auto repair shop.

The ONLY way to prevent qassams from falling on Israel at this time is to push all Palestinians out of range of Israel.

Maj. Gen. Ido Nehushtan, as is typical of fly-boys, lacks any comprehension of the real cost to ground troops of doing what is necessary.

Fly-boys tend to believe that all military operations are as devoid of personal risk and danger as theirs. They tend to think that because there is a smoke cloud from their weapon, that the target was easily destroyed.

The are unfit to command in a real war.
