A senior Israeli intelligence official warned Sunday that Hamas rulers in the Gaza Strip have rockets that can travel 80 kilometers (50 miles) - a longer range than previously reported, which would put the coastal metropolis of Tel Aviv within range of its launchers.
The Israeli intelligence official said that Hamas, which seized control of Gaza in 2007 is making "very great efforts to build up their military capabilities...and all of this is happening because of one important thing: the smuggling of weapons through Egypt to the Gaza Strip."
He said, "In many places we can show photos of Egyptian soldiers located less than 20 meters from the opening of a tunnel, and the tunnel is operating under his eyes, under his control, and nobody is doing anything about it."
