Year 2000 (Arafatʼs Islands)

In Area A (brown), the main Arab urban areas, Israel has fully withdrawn. The PA has complete
control over all civilian administration, and its paramilitary police force is in charge of security.

Note how close these areas come to Israel's main civilian centers, such as Jerusalem, Tel Aviv,
Haifa, Beersheba and Netanya. The Kalkilya zone practically borders on the Israeli city of Kfar

Sava (not shown), and both the Ramallah and Bethlehem zones border on Jerusalem. (Nearly all
of the Gaza region is also considered part of Area A.)

In Area B (yellow), the Arab towns and villages, the PA has full civilian authority but it shares
security responsibility with Israel. Joint Israel-PA patrols operate here. In practical terms, Israel
has very little presence. Nearly all of the strategic mountainous high ground is covered by Area
B.

Area C (white) consists mainly of uninhabited desert regions to the east and south. All Jewish
communities and Israeli military bases are also part of Area C, as enclaves. Furthermore, Area C
includes all the main roads between Jewish communities and also between the Arab towns in
Areas A and B.

The pink region marks the current municipal boundaries of Jerusalem.

The Katyusha Rocket Threat in Israel since 2006

Katyusha rockets are from time to time launched into towns in northern Israel by the Hizbullah
Islamic fundamentalist group stationed in southern Lebanon. Residents are forced to sleep in
bomb shelters, sometimes for days on end, in fear of the attacks.

The Second Lebanon War in the summer of 2006 proved how effective the Katyusha can be in
disrupting the Israeli home front. During this war Hizbullah rockets reached as far south as
Haifa, well beyond the range shown on the map below.

How would Katyushas smuggled in to a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza affect
Israel's main population centers in time of war?

The Katyusha Rocket "Multiple Rocket Launcher" BM-21 pictured here could be easily taken
apart and smuggled into a "demilitarized" Palestinian state. Individual Katyushas can be
launched from a pipe using just a car battery.

The rockets on this truck have a range of 12.7 miles / 20.4 km. Katyushas can easily carry
chemical warheads. One full salvo of rockets from this truck would fire the explosive equivalent
to four Iraqi-type Scud missiles, which were launched into Israel during the 1991 Gulf War.

Most Israeli cities are in Katyusha range from Lebanon, the West bank or Gaza, as the
map shows.
