Thunder 1

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Thunder 1 is a rocket firing device that the militant group Hezbollah claims to now use instead of its standard Katyusha device. Hezbollah claimed the more accurate and longer ranged Thunder 1 was used in attacks of the northern Israeli towns of Safed, Nahariya, Kiryat Shmona and Carmiel in July, 2006 after anti-Hezbollah attacks by Israel. Thunder 1 is believed to have a range of up to 60 miles, making it capable of reaching Israel's largest city Tel Aviv from Hezbollah strongholds in southern Lebanon.
