Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what assessment he has made of Hamas's ability to fire long-range ballistic missiles.

During the recent Gaza conflict Hamas fired rockets that regularly reached Tel Aviv and beyond. Some towns were hit that were in excess of 130km from Gaza. We believe that Hamas’ military wing retains the capability to fire long range rockets into Israel, despite a significantly depleted stockpile of weaponry.
