Rehovot mayor Shuki Forer assures his town is out of Hamas' rocket range

"Tuesday, Jan. 5, Rehovot mayor Shuky Forer assured his town it was out of Hamas' rocket range. Military sources are less confident. Whereas the Homeland Command decided to leave the town out of its emergency planning, intelligence sources do not rule out the possibility that Hamas has kept hidden in one of its bunkers long-range rockets with ranges of 70-75 km, which would put Rehovot and Rishon within their sights and also the nuclear installation at the Negev town of Dimona."
