Syria has delivered long-range Katyusha rockets to Hizbullah, Israeli state television reported Friday evening. 

 

The rockets, made in Syria, have a range of 70 to 80 kilometers, the television added, based on military intelligence sources. The report did not specify the amount of weapons supplied. 

 

In the past, Hizbullah has fired Katyusha rockets at Israel, but those weapons only had a range of 10 to 15 kilometers maximum.
