Just-Released Terrorist Helped West Bank Cell Manufacture Kassam Rockets

Eight Islamic Jihad terrorists involved in producing and testing Kassam rockets were arrested in Jenin Monday. One member of the cell, Muhammed Hasin Mahmed Mashkah, had been banished to Gaza over a year ago and was permitted to return about a month ago, Israel Radio reported. The Defense Ministry estimates that he learned how to manufacture and launch Kassams while in Gaza, and upon his return to Jenin he contacted the terror cell there. The cell members had obtained raw materials used in the manufacture of rockets and had conducted test launches. Just-Released Terrorist Helped West Bank Cell Manufacture Kassam Rockets
