| [IsraelTimes] Paleostinians in the northern West Bank attempted to launch two homemade rockets at Israeli towns, footage published Monday showed. The Israel Defense Forces said one of the rockets landed in Paleostinian-controlled territory in the northern West Bank and did not cross the border into Israel. The second apparently failed to launch, footage showed. "The rocket did not pose a threat to communities in the area," the IDF said. No injuries or damage were caused. The footage was published on Telegram by a group calling itself the al-Ayyash Battalion, apparently named for a notorious Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, bombmaker killed by Israel. The group released similar footage in late May, and the IDF said at the time that troops had located the rocket launcher several hours later in the village of Nazlet Zeid, west of Jenin and close to the settlement of Shaked. The clip published Monday showed two rockets before they were launched, with a note taped to one of them threatening larger attacks in the future. The video showed the first rocket flying into the air, then spiraling out of control, and the second failing to launch. The military said forces reached the scene of the launch near the West Bank city of Jenin and began searching for the suspects. Earlier last month, Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar said security forces had foiled attempts by Paleostinians in the northern West Bank to manufacture rockets to be launched at Israel. Bar said the efforts were led by a senior Paleostinian Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... leader, who was killed by Israel in the Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppressionand disproportionate response... Strip during a five-day flareup in violence. Sounds like he won’t be leading much of anything anymore. "In recent weeks, [the cell] had begun producing rockets and launchers" to fire at Israel, Bar said on May 9, calling it "a dangerous precedent."Less dangerous if half of them damage only themselves and the others never leave the launchpad, explosives being touchy things and difficult to learn before suddenly finding oneself the itchy owner of two hook hands. The Shin Bet chief said members of the cell were arrested by Israel and had since confessed. "We don’t intend to let Afula... become a target for [rocket] fire," he said, referring to a northern Israeli city.
