After a short break Saturday morning from shooting more than 80 missiles against a dozen southern Israeli towns and villages Friday night and early Saturday, March 9-10, the Palestinian Jihad Islami resumed firing on Beersheba and the Eshkol region. They also released a video clip showing them firing Grad multiple rocket launchers mounted on vehicles on Israeli civilian targets. DEBKAfile: This was solid evidence that the Iranian-backed Jihad had put into service weapons smuggled in from Libya five months ago, as DEBKAfile was first to report November 11, 2011: Fifty Libyan Muslim Brotherhood mercenaries arrived in the Gaza Strip from Tripoli last month at the wheels of minivans on which were mounted the new Grad multiple rocket-launchers last seen on the Libyan battlefield in use against Muammar Qaddafi's army.
Western intelligence agents operating in the Gaza Strip who tried at the time to find out from the Libyan Islamist rebels who was behind the smuggling operation were blocked by a dense wall of Palestinian Jihad Islamic operatives.
Since then, the Libyans have been training the Palestinian teams in the use of the multiple rocket systems - undisturbed by any Israeli military interference.
