TEL AVIV - The Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades group yesterday fired two missiles from positions in the West Bank, which borders Jerusalem (al-Quds), Tel Aviv and "Israel`s" international airport, Al Aqsa sources told WND.
Brigades leaders in Jenin in northern Samaria (West Bank) said they fired the two rockets yesterday from their town aimed at an "Israeli" military installation about a mile away. The leaders said the projectiles were Bahaa rockets, named after Saed Bahaa, an Al Aqsa Brigades member killed last week in an "Israeli" infiltration.
A source close to the Brigades said the rockets actually were Jenin 1`s, a less advanced Qassam rocket that can travel about one mile. Qassams are improvised steel rockets, about four feet in length, filled with explosives and fuel. They can travel between one and four miles depending on the sophistication of the particular rocket.
A spokesperson for the "Israeli" Army told WND the army was not aware of any rockets fired yesterday from Jenin. The "Israeli" Army has in the past denied rockets were launched from northern Samaria (West Bank) only to later release information rockets had indeed been fired from the area.
Al Aqsa leaders previously told WND they fired eight rockets from the Jenin area in December and January aimed at nearby Jewish communities. The "Israeli" Army at first denied any rockets were fired, but later confirmed in January it found rockets that had been launched from northern Samaria, likely from Jenin.
