It's the smaller missiles with shorter trajectories that the Patriot is unsuited for. I think the Patriot batteries can handle these big dogs.

If they are seen deploying the Zelzal-2 Israel must begin to think of WMD delivery. For Hizbullah the Fadjr-5 is more deployable and able to reach most of Israel; it does have a smaller warhead.

However, it requires a specialized launch vehicle which is easily identified by aerial surveillance. Hezbollah may have the weapon, but trying get it transported to a launch site, getting set up and ready to fire, takes time and exposes the technicians to detection and attack. It may be useful as a terror weapon so long as they don't try to use it. If they do bring it out in the open, they may not live long enough to get off the launcher. And, assuming Hezbollah can get one in the air, Israel has the Patriot System to knock it down.
