what Israel has had to put up with since Christmas Day (see below).  The difference between a rocket and a missile is a guidance system.  A rocket is the motor (propellent) and a warhead.  A missile is the above plus a guidance system that controls the rocket's movement in flight making it much more accurate.  Hamas has not used missiles, or they would have scored a much higher kill ratio.  While rockets are definitely deadly, they are more of a harassment tool than a weapon to bring a foe under submission.  Should Hamas be using any type of weapon against Israel?  My answer is NO.  Are the Palestinians in Gaza as well off as Morton Klein (Zionist) would like us to believe?  F*** No, unless merely existing is life.  Hamas may think they are winning a public relations victory, but the world is going to eventually become so tired of the situation that the best solution will end up moving the Mediterranean coast about 200 miles east.

Palestianians Use Extended Range Rockets
The Chinese rockets referred to by General Ben-David, are most likely rockets of the 122mm version of the WeiShi family of rocket, ( WS-1E) developed and produced by the Sichuan Aerospace Industry Corporation (SCAIC) also known as Base 062. According to Sinodefence website, these rockets didn't enter production, yet apparently, some reached Hammas and exploded in Beer Sheba. WS-1E was developed for the Type 90 truck mounted multiple rocket launchers. Several versions of different calibers of the WeiShi artillery rocket systems are employed by the People's Republic of China Army and were widely exported to third world countries.

The WS-1E rocket measures about 2.9 meters (depending on type and range) and weighs 61-74 kg. Uunlike the ubiquitous Grad, these Chinese rockets are using both fin and spin stabilization to achieve high accuracy and low dispersion of multiple rockets groups. Unlike the Grad which uses a fixed amount of propellant and warhead, designed for maximum range of 20 km, the Chinese rocket uses a modular design, where some of the payload can be exchanged for propellant.

The two versions of this rocket are the 20km and 40km. Both types use a single chamber FG-42/43 solid rocket propellant uses an advanced hydroxy-terminated polybutadine (HTPB) composition. The rocket's payload consists of a modular warhead weighing 18-22kg in the standard version (20-40km version) or 26-28kg in the short range version (10-12kg). The standard high explosive (RDX-based) warhead can be enhanced with the ZDB-2 blast fragmentation warhead, comprising high explosive charge, containing reduced RDX-based explosive charge, over 4,000 steel ball matrix liner and prefabricated fragmentation sheath, extending lethal effect over a radius of about 100 meters. A thermobaric warhead is also available, comprising of a 17kg warhead containing 6.2 kg of energetic composition and 1,500 steel balls for dual-purpose effect optimized for urban warfare, and the SZB-1 anti-personnel and anti-armor mines containing submunitions for area denial attack.
