Local Editor

Department Head at the "Israeli" Ministry of War, General Amos Gilad, claimed, "Hizbullah has recently succeeded to arm itself with high-tech Scud-D missiles, able to inflict unprecedented damage and reach any area in "Israel"."

During the Third Annual "Israel" Multinational Missile Defense Conference held in Tel Aviv on Tuesday, Gilad stressed, "The missiles that Hizbullah have attained in Lebanon are Scud-D Russian missiles. Unlike the Scud missiles currently used by the Syrian Army, they are much more advanced and lethal, reaching a range of 700 km and carrying a head of more than 150kg of explosives."
Moreover, the "Israeli" Walla! Website mentioned, "Hizbullah has attempted, during the past few months, to place its hand on advanced weaponry, including SA-17 air defense batteries," underscoring, ""Israeli" security organizations gravely fear Hizbullah attaining these weapons, which in turn will use to face "Israel"."
Walla! Website further cited a Zionist source as saying, "this type of missile is able to carry a chemical or biological explosive head, and covers all "Israeli" territories."
The source went on to say, "If this missile directly targeted a building, it would be able to destroy it."

According to foreign sources, Walla! stated, "Hizbullah possesses around 50 thousand missiles, including "Fateh 110" missiles able to reach Tel Aviv and all "Israeli" territories," pointing out, "Attaining Scud missiles changes strategic balances in the Middle East, because one missile is enough to create a strong deterrence."
