The Israeli occupation forces revealed for the first time on Monday the "Tammuz" anti-tank missile which was used during the July War against Lebanon and in Operation Cast Lead against Gaza.The advanced weapon was developed and designed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd., and is currently being used by the Artillery Corps in the Gaza Strip.
The Tammuz is an electro-optical rocket capable of transmitting photos mid-flight, tracking the target and changing the flight accordingly, all with the help of wireless communication.
“The missile had been fired in the past at dozens of targets and found to be very useful against terror units and armored facilities both during day and night,” a senior Artillery Corps officer said.
Aside from the Tammuz missile, the Artillery Corps introduced other weapons during an exhibition Monday including the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Skylark.
