Intel Faces Hamas

@ 2009/01/02
It must be especially interesting to work at Intel's Fab 28 these days: the cutting-edge 45nm technology, the fab ramp-up, the missile attacks.

The missile attacks? Well, so far, at least two missiles have hit in the general vicinity of that Intel fab within the last week.

In case you didn't know, Fab 28 is located in Kiryat Gat, Israel. It is one of Intel's three working 45nm fabs. It is located a bit over fifteen miles from the Gaza Strip. This is out of range for the missiles Hamas normally uses to attack Israel, but within range of the Grad missile systems now being used by Hamas to attack Israeli targets. People in Kiryat Gat have been ordered by the Israeli authorities to stay within 45 seconds' reach of a fortified structure at all times.
