The Bar, identified by Elbit-published reporting as the Israeli Bar (EXTRA) rocket, is a precision guided artillery rocket in the Elbit Systems Land rocket family for fast surface-to-surface fires from Lahav/PULS launchers. Its documented combat use includes the IDF's April 2025 first operational firing in Gaza and later large-scale Battalion 334 launches against Hezbollah targets in Lebanon.
The IDF said the 282nd Artillery Brigade made the Bar rocket's first operational use in the 2023 Israel-Hamas War during Gaza operations in April 2025, striking Hamas targets that included weapon storage sites, launch facilities, and other infrastructure.
Role detailsAn Elbit-published N12 account reported that Battalion 334 in Lebanon fired more than 50 Bar (EXTRA) rockets in the early Operation Roaring Lion fighting, striking Hezbollah anti-tank squads, buildings, and infrastructure while Israeli air operations were focused on Iran.
Public sources describe Bar as a newer Israeli precision rocket in the Elbit rocket family, closely tied to the EXTRA product line and launched from Lahav/PULS systems.
