(Times of Israel) Judah Ari Gross - The target of a drone attack in Beirut on Sunday was a rare industrial mixing machine used in the creation of solid fuel. Its destruction set back Hizbullah's plans to develop long-range precision missiles by at least a year, according to Hebrew media reports on Tuesday. Lebanese media said the drones were launched from within 8 km. of the site of the explosion, indicating that they were either launched within Lebanon or came in from the sea. According to Channel 13 news, the planetary mixer had recently been flown into Lebanon from Iran. It was being held temporarily in Hizbullah's Dahiyeh stronghold before being transferred to the factory where the actual work on the precision missile project was being performed.
