The IDF releases evidence showing shrapnel found at the scene of the rocket strike in Majdal Shams yesterday matching an Iranian-made Falaq-1 rocket, which in Lebanon is exclusively used by Hezbollah.
The Iranian-made Falaq-1 has a 50-kilogram warhead and a range of 10 kilometers, according to the IDF.
The IDF also publishes the flight path of the heavy rocket, launched from the Chebaa area in southern Lebanon.
Hezbollah said yesterday that it launched a Falaq rocket at an IDF base near Majdal Shams, although once reports emerged of civilian casualties in the town, the terror group changed course and denied its involvement. The denial has been strongly rejected by Israel.
