AL QUDS, July 25: The head of Israeli military intelligence warned on Sunday that the Hezbollah has developed rockets capable of reaching the Tel Aviv region from its bases in southern Lebanon, public radio reported.
General Aharon Zeevi Farkash told the weekly cabinet meeting that Lebanon's radical Shia militia had dozens of missiles with a 105-kilometre range and several with a 205-kilometre range which would represent a threat to Israel's commercial capital.
The missiles had been supplied by Syria according to the radio report. Israeli officials warned two years ago that Hezbollah possessed 8,000 Katyusha rockets with a range of up to 70 kilometres, representing a direct threat to the north of the country. -AFP
