The Israel Defense Forces said it is using a mortar system guided by GPS and laser called the Iron Sting.
Israel has stepped up its attacks on Gaza in the last 48 hours, and this is believed to be a more intense prelude to an anticipated ground defense.
Israel also says it has used for the first time in battle a new advanced weapons system. The Israel Defense Forces released a video of the Iron Sting, a mortar system guided by GPS and laser. The preparation for a possible ground invasion comes as Hamas launched yet another round of rockets toward Israel on Monday.
