The Cedar rockets (Arabic: صواريخ أرز) are a series of missiles developed by Haigazian College and the Lebanese army during the 1960s.

However, international worries towards the development in the abilities of Lebanese missiles began to surface, so Lebanon was put under pressure to stop producing these rockets by Western countries.

[citation needed] In November 1960, Professor Manoug Manougian and a group of students formed Haigazian College Rocket Society (HCRS).

They started research into single and multistage solid fuel rockets with a budget of 750 LBP donated by MP Emile Bustani.

As a result of these experiments, the Lebanese President Fuad Chehab granted financial assistance of ten and fifteen thousand LBP to HCRS for 1961 and 1962 respectively.
