Just so you have an idea where Jerusalem is, I’ve added it to this handy map by the IDF that is currently out of date with recent rocket fire hitting close to both Tel Aviv and now Jerusalem:
Hamas appears to have all of Israel in it’s target range which isn’t good. Here’s more info on the rocket Hamas used:
Hamas said it fired a “locally made Qassam M-75” at Jerusalem – a rocket not heard of previously. Guess the number refers to its km range.
