Hamas "Long Range" Rocket: Ayyash-250 [km]

Despite Israel's invasion of Gaza (high civilian casualties and suffering) Hamas has been developing and/or receiving (unguided) rockets of steadily longer range. The name "Ayyash"-250 described below, carries many Arab historical and religious meanings, but coincidentally? also carries the name of an Iranian village.

Even if the Israeli Army occupies all of Gaza (as with the West Bank) long-range Iran supplied/funded Hamas and Hezbollah rockets may be able to hit (or continue to hit) Israel from Lebanon and Syria. 

The Iranian supported Shiite Houthi group in Yemen are also aiming missiles and UAVs with the range to hit Israel.

Above is the Hamas Ayyash-250 rock with a photo of one Yahya Ayyash on the side. "Al-Qassam Brigades" are the military wing of Hamas. Sources see https://odin.tradoc.army.mil/WEG/List/ORIGIN_palestine--state-of-d7e0a7 and Twitter/"X"
