Israel is mulling an option to equip its artillery corps with long-range surface-to-surface missile that can reach targets deep inside Lebanon. However, the plan is being opposed by the Air Force who believes its warplanes are more suited for the job.
Two weapons being considered are the IMI Systems’ Extra rocket and Israel Aerospace Industries’ LORA surface-to-surface missile. These have been sold overseas but not employed by Israeli Defense Force.
The Artillery Corps currently uses the Romach artillery rocket system which only have a range of 35km.
