Hezbollah missiles could hit Tel Aviv: Israel (AFP) 15 July 2006 khaleejtimes.com JERUSALEM - The Lebanese Shia militia Hezbollah has rockets capable of reaching Israel’s economic capital of Tel Aviv, an Israeli military intelligence official told AFP on Saturday. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told reporters that Hezbollah was believed to have around 150 long-range rockets capable of reaching targets between 45 and 200 kilometres (25 to 120 miles) away. He said that Israel believed the Lebanese militia could use these rockets to target Tel Aviv, a city of more than one million people located around 120 kilometres south of the Lebanese border. Hezbollah guerrillas have fired several hundred rockets into northern Israel since the start of a four-day Israeli offensive in Lebanon launched after Hezbollah seized two Israeli soldiers in an armed raid. Several hit the coastal city of Haifa, Israel’s third city located 40 kilometres south of the border, which together with its suburbs is home to more than a million people. Hezbollah rockets on Saturday also hit the town of Tiberias, a major Christian pilgrimage site in northern Israel, for the first time, injuring several people. Israeli officials said Hezbollah militants had used an Iranian-built anti-ship missile with a range of around 100 kilometres (60 miles) to attack an Israeli warship off the coast of the Lebanese capital on Friday. Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah boasted in May that his movement had no fewer than 12,000 missiles in its arsenal. Around 100 are believed to be Zelsal-1 missiles, with the necessary 150-kilometre range to reach Tel Aviv, according to the authoritative Jane’s Defence Weekly.
