    According to the report in the London weekly, which was not attributed to any source, the commandos are looking for missiles hidden underground, a favorite tactic of Hamas.

    As Gaza terrorists over the weekend targeted Tel Aviv, a concern for Israeli officials is the threat that Hamas may fit chemical warheads on its long-range Fajr-5 missiles, the newspaper said, quoting an unnamed defense source.

    “Hamas might go for a desperate attempt to launch rockets with chemical warheads if the worst came to the worst,” the source said.

    If they do, they will lose a big war of public opinion. I think that could last for decades unless we are dealing with the usual slime in the UN.

    I would assume if the terrorists use chemical weapons, the Israelis will obliterate Gaza and return them to the stone age.

    Chos V’Shalom if that happened then the Iron Dome interception would do more harm then the actual rocket itself.

    Hashem Yishmor; however, I am not quite sure that this was responsible reporting by VIN (which I rely on as a great source for news).
