Qassam-series unguided rocketImprovised short-range unguided artillery rocketBuilt in: Palestinian territoriesThe Qassam-series rocket is a locally produced, unguided steel-tube artillery rocket associated with Hamas's Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades. Its short range, simple solid propellant, and crude launch arrangements make it a low-cost area-fire weapon rather than a precision system; during the Israel-Hamas War, Hamas-led forces used Qassam-series rockets within massed rocket and mortar barrages from Gaza into Israel.Built by archive
