19/09/2010 Special Hezbollah units in Iran have successfully launched and tested a new Iranian missile "Fatah 110," according to a report over the weekend by Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Rai, Israeli Channel 2 news reported.
According to the report, the Iranian missile, which was displayed with great pride in Tehran less than a month ago, has a maximum range of 200 kilometers. This means it is capable of reaching occupied Jerusalem and Ashdod if it was to be launched from the Occupied Palestine-Lebanon border. The Kuwait newspaper said the test launches took place in Iran since such an event could not take place in Lebanon.
"The test was successful and part of the units which participated returned to their bases in Lebanon," unidentified officials told Al-Rai. Hezbollah has formulated a "bank of targets" in Israel such as "power stations and sensitive institutions" across the country, the sources added.
According to figures publicized in August in an Iranian broadcast in English, the missile is 9 meters in length and weighs 3,500 kilograms. It is powered by solid fuel propellant and is the third version of the missile, which has existed for several years within the Iranian military.
