(JNS.org) Hamas said it fired two rockets at an Israeli offshore gas rig last week, in the first such attempt by the terrorist group since Operation Protective Edge began.

The offshore gas platform called Noa is located approximately 19 miles off the Gaza coast and is owned by the U.S.-based gas company Noble Energy and the Israeli gas firm Delek. While the Noa platform is within range of Hamas rockets, the rockets largely lack any guidance systems and are highly inaccurate. The Israeli military said no rockets have struck the platforms. In recent years, Israel has beefed up its naval forces to counter any threats to its offshore gas platforms.
