Hezbollah Weapons

During the war in Lebanon the Hezbollah used all kind of conventional weapons against military targets. Weapons such as anti- tanks missiles, R.P.G, AK-47's, hand-grenades etc'...






But against Israeli civilian targets the Hezbollah specifically used a missile that's called Katusha missile. The Katusha missile and other missiles that are similar are loaded with hundreds of little round bullets, that when they explode they fling in a wide diameter and can penetrate throw walls and even steel doors
