QassamCount is a Twitter and Facebook social networking application which tracks rocket attacks on Israel.[1]

It was set up by Dan Peguine on Twitter during the early days of Operation Cast Lead, the Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip at the beginning of 2009. Peguine subsequently partnered with Arik Fraimovich to develop the application for Facebook.[2]

According to the Jerusalem Post website, the QassamCount application was a cornerstone of the online campaign run by HelpUsWin.org during the conflict.[3]
