Hezbollah’s statement
The Lebanese Hezbollah said in a statement: “In support of our steadfast Palestinian people in Gaza Strip and in support of their valiant and honorable resistance, and in defense of Lebanon and its people, the Mujahideen of the Islamic Resistance bombarded Elanya base with a salvo of Fadi-1 missiles.”
The Israeli Elanya base is affiliated with the 146th Reserve Division attached to the Northern Region Command.
Hezbollah introduced new missiles into the confrontation with Israel as part of its initial response to the assassination of its prominent military leaders in Israeli airstrikes that targeted the southern suburbs of Beirut, and the explosions of wireless communication devices (pager explosions).
Hezbollah announced on Sunday that it has used Fadi-1 and Fadi-2 type missiles for the first time in targeting the Israeli Ramat David military base and its airport, and the Rafael Military Industries complex in Haifa.
Missile used
Hezbollah explained that the Fadi-1 missile is an 83 kg warhead, 220 mm in caliber, six meters in length, and a range of 70 km.
“It entered service during the 2006 war and is used in intensive shelling to confuse defense systems. It can also be launched from mobile or fixed positions, and is used to disrupt supply lines and target bases far from the front lines” the statement added.
