Romach is the Israel Defense Forces service name for the 122 mm ACCULAR precision-guided artillery rocket developed in Israel for accurate surface-to-surface fire from podded multiple-rocket launchers. Elbit markets the ACCULAR family as GPS-guided artillery rockets with less than 10 m CEP, and Israeli wartime reporting tied the 122 mm rocket to M270 and Lahav/PULS launchers during precision fire-support missions in the 2023 Israel-Hamas War.
Israel fired Romach/ACCULAR-122 precision rockets from M270 and Lahav/PULS launchers during the 2023 Israel-Hamas War; wartime reporting described more than 200 AccuLAR-122 rockets fired at dozens of targets in the first 50 days of fighting.
Role detailsACCULAR designations distinguish guided artillery rockets by caliber; the 122 mm rocket is the Romach round in Israeli service, while the 160 mm ACCULAR is the larger same-family derivative used in modular launchers.
| Variant | Configuration | Designation notes |
|---|---|---|
| ACCULAR 160 | 160 mm guided family member | Elbit's PULS launcher material lists a 160 mm ACCULAR pod with ten rockets and a range up to 40 km, separating it from the 122 mm Romach/ACCULAR load. Sources: Elbit Systems PULS |
Romach/ACCULAR-122 is documented with both older tracked MLRS launchers and Israel's newer Lahav/PULS modular launcher.
| Launcher | Launcher type | Launch evidence |
|---|---|---|
 | tracked multiple rocket launcher | The IDF said an M270 MLRS fired a Romah missile at a Hamas military site in Gaza in October 2023, tying the rocket to the tracked launcher in wartime service. Sources: IDF: Multiple Rocket Launcher Used to Target Hamas in Gaza for First Time Since 2006 |
 | modular multiple rocket launcher | The IDF said Lahav fired guided Romach rockets on October 10, 2023; Elbit also lists an 18-round 122 mm ACCULAR pod for the PULS launcher family. Sources: Jerusalem Post IDF unveils new artillery launcher, Elbit Systems PULS |
Open sources use several spellings for the same Israeli 122 mm precision rocket. The catalog keeps Romach / ACCULAR-122 as the public title and aliases the common Romah, Romakh, AccuLAR-122, and ACCULAR 122 forms for search.
| Term | Catalog meaning | Source context |
|---|---|---|
| Romach / Romah / Romakh | IDF service name for the 122 mm precision rocket. | IDF-linked wartime reports and open imagery use these transliterations for the Israeli service round. |
| ACCULAR-122 | Manufacturer family designation for the 122 mm guided artillery rocket. | Elbit lists a 122 mm ACCULAR round with a 35 km range and less than 10 m CEP. |
| Lahav/PULS pod | Modern modular launcher integration. | Elbit's PULS material lists an 18-round 122 mm ACCULAR pod, while IDF reporting tied Lahav to guided Romach launches in Gaza. |
| M270 MLRS launch | Tracked launcher integration in Israeli service. | The IDF said an M270 fired a Romah missile at a Hamas site in Gaza in October 2023. |
The Jerusalem Post reported IDF statements that Lahav fired guided Romach rockets on October 10, 2023, and continued operating against Gaza targets afterward.
