Jerusalem Post says they were Russian 9M133 Kornet missiles. I understand they are expensive and specialized.

Hez used Kornets in the 2006 conflict and caused heavy damage to Merkeva tanks. They likely fired multiple missiles at this convoy since the Israelis sometimes employ active protection countermeasures on their armored vehicles.
