Recent air strikes at Palestinian targets were only a "warning", Israel Army Radio quoted the sources as saying. The "real" response to the firing of two Kassem-2 rockets at Israel on Sunday would come if and when more rockets were fired. Israel would then take over Palestinian-controlled territory "for an extensive period of time" in order to create a buffer zone and distance Kassem-2 missile launchers from Israeli population centres. The locally-produced Kassem-2 missiles are between two and three metres long with a diameter of some 120 millimetres and are said to have warheads containing about five kilograms of explosives. Israel has warned the Palestinian Authority that the launch of these rockets — which with a range of up to eight kilometres can reach Israeli towns close to the West Bank and Gaza Strip borders — would significantly "change the rules of the game". The two rockets fired from the Gaza Strip Sunday landed in a field near a communal farm in Israeli territory, causing no damage or injuries. — DPA
