Palestinian Rocket Arsenal
The Palestinian rocket arsenal used in the Arab–Israeli conflict includes a wide range of rockets and missiles, varying in design, size and payload capacity. Palestinian rockets include those locally made in Gaza and the West Bank as well as weapons smuggled from Iran and Syria. Rockets are used in attacks on Israel, mostly to target Israeli civilian centers in addition to Israeli military posts. Various Palestinian groups have used rockets against Israel including Fatah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, as well as left-wing groups. Rockets are one of the main weapons produced by Palestinian militant and terrorist groups.

Arab–Israeli Conflict
The Arab–Israeli conflict is an ongoing intercommunal phenomenon involving political tension, military conflicts, and other disputes between Arab countries and Israel, which escalated during the 20th century, but had mostly faded out by the early 21st century. The roots of the Arab–Israeli conflict have been attributed to the support by Arab League member countries for the Palestinians, a fellow League member, in the ongoing Israeli–Palestinian conflict; this in turn has been attributed to the simultaneous rise of Zionism and Arab nationalism towards the end of the 19th century, though the two national movements had not clashed until the 1920s. Part of the Palestine–Israel conflict arose from the conflicting claims by these movements to the land that formed the British Mandatory Palestine, which was regarded by the Jewish people as their ancestral homeland, while at the same time it was regarded by the Pan-Arab movement as historically and currently belonging to ...

Badr-3
The Badr-3 (Arabic: بدر 3 (صاروخ)), Hebrew: בדר 3) is a surface-to-surface missile. Developed in 2019 in Iran under the Popular Mobilization Forces's Technical Directorate for Military Production and the Quds Force, its design was primarily produced and exported as part of the Palestinian rocket arsenal, of which its primary user is the Al-Quds Brigades under Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ). Characteristics Compared to other rockets by Hamas, PIJ, and Palestinian factions in the Gaza–Israel conflict, the Badr-3 has a heavier payload than most other rockets, with a verified range of 8 miles (13 km), despite claims by PIJ to be able to travel 160 km, compared to the likes of the Fajr-5, the R-160, and Hamas' Ayyash 250 (250 km range). With a warhead weighing 250 kg, in October 2023, a spokesperson for al-Quds Brigade claimed variants with a 400 kg warhead. Though its early development was primarily in Iran, it was designed to be able to be p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sumoud
Sumud ( ar, صمود) meaning "steadfastness"Abed, 1988, p. 288. or "steadfast perseverance" is a Palestinian cultural value, ideological theme and political strategy that first emerged among the Palestinian people through the experience of the dialectic of oppression and resistance in the wake of the 1967 Six-Day War.Nassar and Heacock, 1990, p. 28. This noun is derived from a verb meaning "arrange, adorn, lay up, save". Those who are steadfast - that is, those who exhibit ''sumud'' - are referred to as ''samidin'', the singular forms of which are ''samid'' (m.) and ''samida'' (f.). As the term developed, Palestinians have distinguished between two main forms of sumud. The first, "static sumud", is more passive and is defined by Ibrahim Dhahak as the "maintenance of Palestinians on their land." The second, "resistance sumud" (in Arabic, ''sumud muqawim'') is a more dynamic ideology whose aim is to seek ways of building alternative institutions so as to resist and undermine the Isra ...

Tanzim
''Tanzim'' ( ar, تنظيم ', "Organization") is a militant faction of the Palestinian Fatah movement. Overview The Tanzim militia, founded in 1995 by Yasser Arafat and other Fatah leaders to counter Palestinian Islamism, is widely considered to be an armed offshoot of Fatah with its own leadership structure. The acknowledged head of the Tanzim is Marwan Barghouti, who is as of 2017, serving five consecutive life sentences in Israel for murder, and, according to some accounts, has a substantial following among the rejectionist camp which opposes the Interim Agreement (also called Oslo II or Taba) signed on 28 September 1995 with Israel. The Tanzim is a grass roots organization that operates at the community level. By taking a hardline position against Israel, it has helped siphon Palestinian support from the Islamist groups to the Palestinian Authority and PLO leadership. Tanzim came to prominence in the street fighting which marked the beginning of the second Palestin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Qassam Rocket
The Qassam rocket ( ar, صاروخ القسام ''Ṣārūkh al-Qassām''; also ''Kassam'') is a simple, steel artillery rocket developed and deployed by the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military arm of Hamas. These rockets cannot be fired to target specific military objectives in or near civilian areas, and are "indiscriminate when used against targets in population centers". Three models have been produced and used, the first being introduced in 2001. More generally, all types of Palestinian rockets fired into southern Israel, for example the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Al Quds rockets, are called Qassams by the Israeli media, and often by foreign media. History of the Qassam Name Qassam rockets are named after the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the armed branch of Hamas, itself named for Izz ad-Din al-Qassam, a Syrian Muslim preacher whose death during a guerrilla raid against British Mandatory authorities in 1935 was one of the catalysts for the 1936–39 Arab revo ...

Weishi Rockets
The Weishi (WS; ) family of multiple rocket launcher systems were mainly developed by Sichuan Aerospace Industry Corporation (SCAIC, also known as Base 062) in Chengdu, China. The systems include the WS-1 (), the improved WS-1B (), the WS-1E (), the WS-2 (), as well as many other models. The WS-1 series weapon system did not enter PLA service and has order from Thailand. The WS-2 may finally see PLA service in the future. It's worth noticing that although sharing the same name, there are other developers for different models of Weishi series multiple rocket launchers (MRL) other than the primary developer SCAIC. China Aerospace Long-March International ALIT (CASC) has published a table showing the ranges of most of the WS rockets. There are unguided, guided and precision guided rockets. WS-1 SCAIC began to develop an unguided large-calibre multiple launch rocket system for the PLA ground forces in the late 1980s. The resulting Weishi-1 (WS-1) 302 mm, 4-tube multiple r ...

Khaibar-1
The Khaibar-1 ( ar, خيبر-1), also known as the Khyber-1, the M-302, or the B-302 is a Syrian-made 302 mm unguided artillery rocket. It is best known for being used by Hezbollah against targets in northern Israel during the 2006 Lebanon War, and has also been used in the Syrian Civil War. It is essentially a clone of the Chinese WS-1 rocket. The Khaibar-1 is significant because the rocket has a 100 km range, longer than the BM-21 Grad rockets that make up most of the Hezbollah rocket force. It uses a unique Syrian-designed launcher and possibly a cluster munition or fragmentation warhead.William M. Arkin, Divining Victory: Airpower in the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah War (2007) p. 34 The rocket is easily recognizable by its fixed tail fins. The rocket is often misidentified as Iranian or as a variant of Iranian Fajr-3 or Fajr-5 rockets. Usage The rocket's first use was being fired at the Israeli city of Afula during the 2006 Lebanon War. In early August 2006, Khaib ...
