Qassam rocket

A Qassam rocket is a homemade projectile developed primarily by Palestinian groups, notably Hamas, for use in conflict. It is a short-range, simple missile constructed from basic materials like steel and explosives, with minimal guidance. These rockets are launched toward specific targets, often within Israel, causing damage and insecurity. Due to their rudimentary design, Qassam rockets are less accurate and more risky for those firing them. Their use is a significant aspect of the ongoing conflict in the region, highlighting issues of asymmetrical warfare and the challenges of armed resistance.
