TEHRAN // Iranian media report that their military has test-fired several short-range missiles, including the type the Palestinian Hamas group used to attack Tel Aviv in November.
Today's report by the semi-official Fars news agency said the missiles were tested during an army exercise in central Iran. It said the missiles fired were Nazeat-10 and Fajr-5.
During weeks of fighting in November, Gaza's Hamas rulers fired Iranian-made Fajr-5 rockets that came close to Israel's heartland, including the cities of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem for the first time.
Later, Iran admitted supplying Hamas with the technology to produce Fajr-5. The missile has a range of 75 kilometres. The range of the Nazeat-10 missiles is about 100 kilometres.
Iran regularly holds military manoeuvres to test and promote its military power.
