The Hamas terror group releases footage of it launching two long-range rockets from the Gaza Strip at central Israel today.
The video shows that Hamas used makeshift rocket launchers, instead of the standard launch pits that it would normally use to carry out long-range rocket fire on Israel.
As such, one of the rockets fired today landed in the sea off the coast of Tel Aviv, while the second fell short in Gaza, according to the IDF.
The IDF has assessed that Hamas still possesses the capability to launch rockets at central Israel or Jerusalem, but the terror group does not have many long-range rockets or launchers left to use.
