Gaza terrorists were undoubtedly anxious late Saturday night upon failing to carry out a rocket attack on southern Israel, due to quick-trigger backfire on the launching pad.

According to Arab media reports, the operatives tried to launch two rocket attacks towards Israel: but both rockets went off too early, during takeoff.

It was a case of premature explosion on the launching pad.

No details were made available regarding possible casualties resulting from the backfire.

There have been cases in the past when women and children have been injured as a result of such “work accidents.”
