Hamas TV Report on Ongoing Rocket Production in Gaza

This Al-Aqsa TV report, aired on August 13, 2014, shows the production of rockets by the Al-Qassam Brigades. According to the narrator, "the surprises offered by the Al-Qassam Brigades" go far beyond the tunnels. A member of the unit said: "Despite the aggression, production continues – from the workshops to the battlefield."

Following are excerpts:

Hamas spokesman Abu Obeida: [Israeli Defense Minister] Yaalon threatens us with a ground offensive. We say to him: You are threatening us with something we are anticipating, you son of a Jew?

Reporter: When the Al-Qassam Brigades say something, they mean it. On the twelfth day of the ongoing aggression against Gaza, the icon of the war, [spokesman] Abu Obeida, made the following statement:

Abu Obeida: The enemy should know that we have already compensated for the equipment and ammunition we lost in the war.

Reporter: The surprises offered by the Al-Qassam Brigades were not restricted to the tunnels presented by Al-Aqsa TV and Al-Jazeera TV and did not end with the capturing of soldiers. They go far beyond that.

Sign reads: "Despite the aggression, production continues – from the workshops to the battlefield, August 7, 2014"

Reporter: On August 7, when the Zionist military forces were attacking Gaza from air, land, and sea, the Al-Qassam Brigades were launching strikes against Tel Aviv and Haifa, as well as neighboring towns in occupied Palestine.

Others continue to produce additional rockets, capable of striking deep into Zionist territory with the utmost precision. These rockets replenish the shortage stemming from the daily launchings.

This M-75 rocket, by way of example, is being prepared for launching.

Al-Qassam Brigades member: Your defeatist leadership claimed to have destroyed our rocket capability. However, despite the aggression, our production continues - from the workshop to the battlefield.
