Grad coverage of southern Israel.
Since 2006 Hamas has fired 122mm Grad rockets, copies made in Iran, and Eastern-bloc versions modified to expand their range and lethality, into Israel.[4] The rockets were believed to be smuggled into the Gaza Strip via tunnels from Egypt.[4] Some of the rockets were of a Chinese Grad variant.[5] Hamas sources said they were pleased by the performance of the Chinese variants of the BM-21 Grad rocket, which demonstrated a far greater range and blast impact than Palestinian-made rockets, as well as Russian-origin Grads or Katyushas.[5][6]
On 28 February 2008 at least ten 122mm Grad rockets hit the coastal city of Ashkelon.[7] In other incidents, longer range rockets were used, with twice that of the BM-21 Grad. These longer range rockets were erroneously reported by the media to be also Grad rockets.[7] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BM-21_Grad
