The Kornet-EM is a multi-purpose anti tank guided missile system
designed and manufactured by KBP Instrument Design Bureau. The
long-range missile system was unveiled at the Moscow Airshow (MAKS) in
August 2011. The system was also demonstrated at the Russian Arms Expo

The missile system is designed to destroy advanced and modern tanks
fitted with explosive reactive armour, light-armoured vehicles and
fortifications. It can also engage surface-level marine and low-speed

48 Hours of Terror from Gaza
Over the course of 48 hours, southern Israel was struck with an
endless barrage of rockets from Gaza. While Israeli families were
observing the Sabbath on Friday and Saturday terror groups Palestinian
Islamic Jihad and Hamas fired more than 690 rockets from Gaza into
Israel.
Background
At one of Hamas’ weekly violent riots along Israel’s security
fence with Gaza on Friday, snipers in the southern Gaza Strip opened
fire on the Israeli side of the fence, wounding two IDF soldiers. In
response to the attack, the IDF struck a Hamas military post.
The following morning, Saturday, May 4, Hamas and PIJ began a
massive rocket bombardment, indiscriminately firing rockets at Israeli
civilians. Air raid sirens sounded across southern and central Israel,
sending thousands of Israeli civilians into shelters.
Those who couldn’t make it to reinforced shelters ran for
cover, others laid on the ground, covering their heads with their hands
in case of falling shrapnel.
Round-the-clock Terror
Four Israelis were killed in the rocket attacks: Moshe Agadi,
58; Pinchas Menachem Prezuazman, 21; Zaid al-Hamamde, 47; and Moshe
Feder, 68.
More than 130 other Israelis were wounded, and hundreds more
are suffering from shock and anxiety. Rockets launched by Hamas and PIJ
have hit homes, schools, kindergartens, and other civilian targets.
Soldiers
operating the Iron Dome aerial defense system intercepted more than 240
of the over 690 rockets fired towards Israeli cities, towns, and
villages, preventing countless deaths and injuries and avoiding further damage.
IDF Defends
The IDF responded to the round-the-clock rocket attacks with
focused strikes on approximately 350 Hamas and PIJ terror targets in the
Gaza Strip. These included rocket launch sites, terror squads, terror
operatives, command centers, weapon storage facilities, observation
posts, and military compounds.
Also targeted was a Hamas underground rocket manufacturing
facility, a PIJ cross-border terror tunnel shaft, Hamas’ Military
Intelligence and the General Security offices, Hamas and PIJ naval
vessels, Hamas’ cyber headquarters, and weapon manufacturing sites.
Many of the targeted sites had been intentionally embedded and
concealed in densely populated civilian areas; these terror groups use
their own civilians to shield their terror infrastructure.
The IDF will continue to defend the people of Israel and will continue to act against those who threaten them.
