“Today, the grounds for the annihilation and collapse of the Zionist regime are [present] more than ever, if the Zionists make a wrong move, all the occupied territories will come under attack from dedicated fighters and, God willing, the territories will be liberated.”

He added that tens of thousands of other long-range missiles with a diverse range of destructive power and great precision are based in different parts of the Muslim world and are ready to “wipe out one malevolent and black spot from the political geography forever”.

The main operator of Iranian supplied weaponry is Hezbollah’s and it’s estimated that their rocket force consists of over 120,000 rockets, including the M-21OF rockets which have a range of 25 km. Hezbollah is also believed to have fired Shahin I missile which was described as a Ra’ad 1 missile by Hezbollah’s TV station and has a range of 13 km.

However, the vast majority of their rocket arsenal are made up of 122mm Katyusha rockets.

Hezbollah also possesses longer range rockets, namely the Fajr-5 rocket which has a range of 45 km; the missile was fired into Israel in the 2006 conflict. It was reported that in 2006 Israel Defense Forces believed that Hezbollah had some 100 Fajr rockets.
