Lebanon 2006. This is an Israeli Spike NLOS (Non Line Of Sight) air-to-surface missile. It has a range of 25km, IR day/night capability, and a number of different warheads are available depending on mission/target. The missile has a nose camera and secure communication with the launch platform is maintained via a fiber-optic cable. In other words, one can fire this missile without having the target in sight and then acquire the target via nose-camera while in-flight. Operator adjustments can be made right up to the terminus of impact. In this vid, a specific window is targeted at a distance of 20km. The typical launch platforms are helicopter or (winky) the IAF Heron UAV.

Supposedly there was a truce, but that didn't stop Hamas from launching 3 more rockets since last night. Just checking out equipment, I guess.
Be'er Sheva has closed school for the day (The US gets snow days, Israel gets rocket days), though Ben Gurion University in Be'er Sheva is holding classes as normal.Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

Locations of Hamas Leaders Identified during Qatari Emir's Recent Visit to Gaza
TEHRAN (FNA)- The residence and offices of a number of Hamas leaders were identified during the recent visit to the Gaza Strip by Qatar's King Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani and later targeted by Israeli missile and bomb attacks, informed sources disclosed.
The emir of Qatar gifted a number of watches and ballpoint pens to Hamas leaders, which transmitted low-frequency signals to Israeli satellites, the sources, who asked to remain unnamed due to the sensitivity of the information, told FNA, adding that the Israeli military officials would then use the received signals to spot and assassinate senior Hamas officials.
Sheikh Hamad arrived in Gaza on October 23 to become the first head of state to visit the besieged enclave since the Palestinian resistance movement, Hamas, took power in the territory five years ago.
Qatar's emir has repeatedly met with Israeli leaders, and is working hard to boost the diplomatic clout of his small Persian Gulf country.
The Israeli military frequently carries out airstrikes and other attacks on Gaza Strip.
The new wave of Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip has claimed more than 41 lives since November 14. Ahmed al-Ja'abari, the popular and influential head of the Hamas military wing, the Ezzedeen al-Qassam Brigades, was assassinated in an Israeli attack on his car on Wednesday.
On Friday, Ahmed Abu Jalal, a field commander of the Ezzedeen al-Qassam Brigades, was also killed in an Israeli airstrike on the central Gaza district of Maghazi.In the realm of spirit, seek clarity; in the material world, seek utility.

The Emir seeks the role of Prime Minister of Arabia. Being small, he threatens no one, being wealthy he is of sufficient class. With proper genuflection to the House of Saud, when they deign to notice, he may become a very powerful man indeed.In the realm of spirit, seek clarity; in the material world, seek utility.
