Well I have just googled قنابر and it seems that it is also used to refer to قنابل , but frankly speaking this is the first time i hear it.

Arabic term (edited):
قنابل هاون
Mortar rounds or mortar projectiles ("Shells" or "bombs" are colloquials)
Mortar rounds or mortar projectiles are the technical terms used in most English-speaking militaries.
Of the two, mortar round(s) is the most-commonly-used term in military reporting.
The terms "shells" or "bombs" are colloquials and often (mis)used in journalism.
Hope this helps.
Khair, in shaa' Allah.
