| The Four List of Advanced Missiles of Hezbollah Troops |
International Military - Hezbollah is the political and military wing of the fastest-growing Shia group in the Middle East. Initially, this movement was formed because of the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1978. At that time, Hezbollah's activity was to expel Israel from Lebanon.
In October 1983, Hezbollah carried out a suicide attack that destroyed the US Marine base in Beirut. As a result of this attack, 241 soldiers were killed. The attack was caused by the anger of Lebanese Muslims, particularly Shiites, against the United States and France.
According to them, the two countries were not peacekeepers in the Lebanese civil war, but rather were factions in the civil war that supported Maronite Christians.
In Lebanon, Hezbollah is the most dominant military movement and is even stronger than the Lebanese army. This means that Hezbollah's possession of weapons will determine the defense of Lebanon.
One of the weapons they have is missiles. Hezbollah has more than 100,000 rockets and missiles of various types. This was stated by the Israeli Army in a report published last June, as quoted from the website of the Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper.
The following is a list of advanced missiles owned by Hezbollah and their range and warhead capabilities.
1. Katyusha missiles
The Katyusha missile is capable of a range of up to 40 kilometers with a 20 kg warhead. This missile had become a mainstay of Hezbollah to make Israeli troops feel afraid. In the 2006 war, Hezbollah was reported to have had up to 7,000 similar missiles. Iran is the country that provides most of the missiles.
2. Fajr Missile
The Fajr missile is a third-generation Katyusha missile made in Iran. The Fajr-3 missile is capable of a range of 43 kilometers with a warhead weighing 45 kilograms. The Fajr-5 missile is more sophisticated than the Fajr-3 missile. This missile is capable of reaching a range of 75 kilometers with a warhead weighing 90 kg.
3. Zelzal missiles
The Zelzal missile is the result of a joint effort between Hezbollah and Iran to improve the accuracy of their missiles. The Zelzal-1 missile is known to be capable of reaching a range of up to 125-160 kilometers with a warhead weighing 500 kg. While the Zelzal-2 missile is capable of reaching a range of up to 210 kilometers with a warhead weighing 600 kg.
4. Fateh-110 missile
Another type of missile owned by Hezbollah is the Fateh-110, which is a short-range ballistic missile. This missile appears to be a different version of the Zelzal-2. The Fateh-110 can reach a range of 250 to 300 km with a 500 kg warhead.
