Islamic Jihad and the Al-Aqsa Brigade terror gangs took responsibility for Saturday's Grad rocket attacks against southern Israel. Footage released by Islamic Jihad Saturday night showed terrorists firing the rockets at Israel using a portable rocket launcher installed on the back of a pickup truck – a method of attack that had not been used in Gaza previously. Media analysts said that the footage indicated that Gaza terror groups had developed several advanced capabilities in recent months.

Altogether, over 30 Grad missiles, Katyusha rockets, and mortar shells fell in southern Israel Saturday.
