Palestinians fire longer-range missile into Israel...
This is very worrying.....
Palestinian militants fired a Katyusha rocket deep into southern Israel on Sunday, police said, showing an ability to extend the range of rocket attacks from the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip.
Gaza militants usually fire crude rockets that have a maximum range of about 9 km (5.5 miles) into Israel, but rarely go beyond 3 km (2 miles). The Grad-type Katyusha, originally Soviet-designed, landed some 11 km (6.5 miles) inside Israel.
The Katyusha slammed into an open field, causing a brush fire but no injuries, a police spokesman said.
Katyushas, widely used by Hezbollah guerrillas to strike Israel from Lebanon in a 2006 war, can reach a distance of 20 kilometres (12 miles).
The Israeli military believes there are several dozen longer-range Katyushas in the hands of militant groups in the Gaza Strip, which was seized by Hamas Islamists in June.
