Al-Quds rocket

Al-Quds rocket

The al-Quds 101 Rocket is a homemade rocket made and utilized by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad for use against targets in Israel. The al-Quds 101 is most likely similar to the Qassam rocket series used by Hamas.

On February 11, 2006, Islamic Jihad spokesman Abu Hamza reported that the newly developed al-Quds 2 had a length of 2.3 meters and was capable of striking Ashkelon, Israel, from the Gaza Strip.

Islamic Jihad has recently released video showing the development of a much larger Quds-4 rocket.
