Major progress in Palestinian rocket power

An Iranian expert in Middle East affairs says the Palestinian resistance's recent rocket response against Israel last week helped falsify the Israeli allegations that it seized a ship loaded with Iranian rockets destined for Gaza.

Amir Mousavi argued that the rocket response showed the Palestinian resistance has become self-sufficient in making rockets and that there is no more needs for transfer of arms from outside.

Head of Iran's Strategic Studies Center told Qudsna that the Zionist regime was aware of the Palestinian resistance's rocket power and sought to prepare the public opinion for an aggression on Gaza by fabricating the ship seizure scenario.

The expert said the Palestinian rocket response to the killings of three members of the Islamic Jihad movement in Gaza was powerful and surprised the Israeli authorities.

The expert added that Palestinians have apparently become much able in rocket making, adding that the situation is very formidable for the Zionist regime.
