Military expert Major General Fayez Al-Duwairi said that the new launcher presented by the Al-Qassam Brigades - the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) - after 5 months of war means that the resistance has surprises that it has not yet revealed in the battle.
In a video dated March 7, Al-Qassam revealed a new launcher bearing the names of the martyrs “Khairy Alqam” and “Uday Al-Tamimi.”
Al-Duwairi confirmed that what appeared in the video indicates that it may be a simulation of a 122 mm Katyusha rocket, meaning that its range reaches 14 km, which means that all settlements surrounding Gaza will be within its range.
The launcher carries 8 missiles, and it may be one of the achievements of the current battle, according to Al-Duwairi, who suggested that it was made through reverse engineering.
He believes that revealing the new weapon at this time means that Al-Qassam is still managing the battle and controlling the command system, and that it has something to offer after this period of fighting.
