Israel's security (Shin Bet) service agents found an unexploded Palestinian Qassam rocket Saturday in Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's ranch in the southern Israel Negev desert. According to Haaretz, the rocket fired three weeks and it proved that Sharon's ranch was within range of the projectiles. This is the third time a Qassam has landed within the boundaries of the ranch, the report added.


The rocket was found in a field near the grave of Sharon's deceased wife, a few hundred meters from Sharon's home, which is around 9 kilometers from the town of Beit Hanun in the northern Gaza Strip.

 

Sharon often stays at his personal home in southern Israel.
