| (IsraelNN.com) The rockets which caused death and destruction in Haifa on Sunday morning contained parts made in Syria, according to security officials. They were, however, Iranian-made 220 mm Fajr missiles, with a range of 40 kilometers, security sources said. In a statement read on al-Manar TV, Hizbullah’s television station, the terrorist organization said it had fired “a salvo of Raad-2 and Raad-3 rockets.” The terror organization added that it would target petrochemical plants in Haifa if the IDF continued air strikes in Beirut. |
