[Debka] Israel’s military spokesman reported that the air force struck and destroyed on Wednesday the Islamic Jihad’s main factory in Rafah for producing warheads for long-range rockets, as well as a pile of finished rockets turned out by the plant. Other targets were a Jihad officer’s command center in Khan Younes that served as a secret store for long-range rockets, and a naval vessel used to train the group’s trainees for commando infiltrations of Israel. It was sunk by an Israeli warship. Since Israel launched reprisals for Jihad’s rocket attacks in Gaza on Tuesday, some 16 Palestinians have been killed and at least 50 wounded.
