The Iranian military has trialed a series of short-range missiles, including the kind used by Hamas against Israel, according to Iranian media, AP reported on Thursday.

The missiles fired were the Nazeat-10 and the Fajr-5, Fahr news agency said, the latter of which was used by Gazan militant group, Hamas, to attack Tel Aviv in November last year.

During the latest battle between Israel and Hamas, the Palestinian group fired the rockets towards Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, in response to Israeli attacks on civilians in Gaza.

Iran admitted to supplying the Fajr-5s.
