The report states that Hizbullah's long-range missile teams are deployed north of the Litani River, and that "most of the new missiles include [the Iranian-made] Zelzal and Fajr missiles that have a range of over 250 kilometers and are capable of hitting areas south of Tel Aviv." Hizbullah also has established an anti-aircraft unit armed with surface-to-air missiles.
