Hizbollah Missiles Can Hit All Of Israel

One of the Iranian founders of Lebanon’s Hizbollah said in remarks published yesterday that the Shia militia group had missiles which “leave no spot in Israel unreachable”.
“Hizbollah’s arsenal not only includes Katyusha missiles, but also Zelz Al 2 missiles, which could hit targets as far as 250 kilometres, leaving no spot in Israel unreachable,” Ali Akbar Mohtashami-Pour told the centrist Shargh newspaper.
Mohtashami-Pour, a former ambassador of the Islamic republic to Syria during the early 1980s, did not say where the missiles were made. “Hizbollah managed to equip itself in the past five years,” he noted, implicitly referring to Israel’s pullout from southern Lebanon in 2000.

Iranian official admits Tehran supplied missiles to Hezbollah

By Amos Harel and Yoav Stern, Haaretz Correspondents

A senior Iranian official admitted for the first time Friday that Tehran did indeed supply long-range Zelzal-2 missiles to Hezbollah. Mohtashami Pur, a one-time ambassador to Lebanon who currently holds the title of secretary-general of the "Intifada conference," told an Iranian newspaper that Iran transferred the missiles to the Shi'ite militia, adding that the organization has his country's blessing to use the weapons in defense of Lebanon. Pur's statements are thought to be unusual given that Tehran has thus far been reluctant to comment on the extent of its aid which it has extended to Hezbollah.
