JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli forces have destroyed an estimated two thirds of Hizbollah's long-range missile capabilities, a senior government official told Reuters on Monday.
The Iranian-supplied Zelzal-2 missiles have been Israel's main strategic concern during an a 20-day-old fight with the Lebanese guerrilla group. They have a range of 200 km (125 miles) and are believed capable of carrying biological or chemical warheads.
"We know how many of them we destroyed and we know how many they shot," the senior government official said.
"But one third (left undestroyed) is a lot. that can cause a lot of damage if they are launched," the official said.
