Hamas Rockets Putting Israeli Nuclear Plant/Warheads At Risk

Okay, tell me this isn't scary as all hell. The Israeli leadership is nervous that Hamas now has in their possession some new rockets from Iran that will penetrate even further into Israel and that would mean that the nuclear facility in Dimona would be in jeopardy. We've seen in the past few days how Hamas rockets have landed deeper than ever before into Israel and those aren't even the new generation rockets that Israelis fear that Hamas now has. Here's some of the details from the TimesOnLine:

There were growing fears in Israel last night that Hamas missiles could threaten its top-secret nuclear facility at Dimona.
Rocket attacks from Gaza have forced Israelis to flee in ever greater numbers and military chiefs have been shaken by the size and sophistication of the militant group’s arsenal.

Israeli officials say that Hamas has also acquired dozens of Iranian-made Fajr-3 missiles with an even longer range. Many fear that as the group acquires ever more sophisticated weaponry it is only a matter of time before the nuclear installation at Dimona, 20 miles east of Beersheba, falls within its sights. Dimona houses Israel’s only nuclear reactor and is believed to be where it stores warheads for its nuclear missiles.
Israel’s worst nightmare is that soon all its cities will be within range either of the Hezbollah Katyushas arrayed on the Lebanese border to the north or the increasingly sophisticated missiles stockpiled by Hamas to the south. Both groups have links to Israel’s archenemy Iran.

I don't care what anyone says - this is reason enough for Israel to wage the ground war in Gaza to mop up the entire Hamas population of jihadists. It's only a matter of time before more longer range rockets will end up in Gaza and if Hamas and Hezbollah ever decided to coordinate rocket attacks on Israel, it would be devastating. The time is not now to worry about world opinion because if the rockets do reach the nuclear facility in Dimona, the Israelis at that time will have no option other than to lay Gaza in ruin...turn it to heated glass.

Gaza rockets put Israel’s nuclear plant in battle zone

Despite a diplomatic mission by Tzipi Livni, the Israeli Foreign Minister, to Paris, the Israeli army continued to muster thousands of troops and scores of tanks along Gaza’s border for a possible ground offensive. Israel’s airstrikes are designed to blunt Hamas’s capacity to fire its new Grad missiles deep into its territory. The weapons are smuggled in through tunnels and by sea, replacing homemade Qassam rockets.

Israel has said that its aim is to smash Hamas’s rocket-firing capability but also to topple the hardline Islamist regime that seized power in the Gaza Strip last year after bloody street battles with its secular rivals Fatah. Until that goal is achieved, many in Beersheba are packing their bags and heading for Tel Aviv or Eilat.
“Maybe 30 or 40 per cent of people have left the city,” said Ron Shukron, 26, running one of the few grocery shops still open. As he spoke a siren echoed through the empty streets. With only 15 seconds to take cover, he stepped under a reinforced support beam in the ceiling. Seconds later came the dull thud of a rocket exploding on the edge of town.
