Romach / ACCULAR-122 precision rocket
The Romach is the Israel Defense Forces name for the 122 mm ACCULAR precision-guided artillery rocket developed in Israel for accurate surface-to-surface fire with low collateral damage compared with unguided area rockets. In the Israel-Hamas War, Israeli artillery units used ACCULAR-122 rockets from MLRS launchers for precision fire support against targets in and around Gaza during the opening phase of the campaign.

M270 MLRSTracked multiple launch rocket systemThe M270 MLRS is a tracked, armored multiple launch rocket system built around two launch-pod containers for guided rockets or tactical missiles. It has documented combat roles in the Russia-Ukraine War and the Israel-Hamas War, where the IDF used it to fire a long-range Romah missile at a Hamas target in Gaza.
2S35 Koalitsiya-SV152 mm tracked self-propelled howitzerThe 2S35 Koalitsiya-SV is a Russian 152 mm tracked self-propelled howitzer developed as a highly automated successor to the 2S19 Msta-S, pairing a 2A88 gun, uncrewed turret, automated loading, digital fire-control features, and a T-90-derived chassis for long-range tube-artillery missions. Its appearance in the Russia-Ukraine War has been reported in limited numbers, with open-source conflict reporting emphasizing counter-battery use and uncertainty around official confirmation.

ATS-59-122Tracked 122 mm self-propelled artillery conversionThe ATS-59-122 is a rare Yemeni self-propelled artillery conversion that mounts a 122 mm artillery piece on the Soviet ATS-59/ATS-59G tracked artillery tractor family. In the Yemen Civil War record it is best treated as a sparsely documented Houthi-aligned battlefield fire-support system, with sources supporting the chassis family, the Yemeni 122 mm conversion, and related Tokchon-style ATS-59 self-propelled gun use.Sources
