New wave of far-reaching Hezbollah strikes hit occupied territories
Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement has carried out a new wave of far-reaching strikes against the northern part of the occupied Palestinian territories, a day after Israeli air raids claimed the lives of hundreds of people in the country.
The movement announced targeting the Megiddo military airport, west of the city of Afula, with missile barrages on three occasions on Tuesday. Footage recorded of the strikes showed the projectiles making numerous direct impacts.
The group also fired another missile barrage against Ramat David, an Israeli air force base located just 20 kilometers (12 miles) southeast of the city of Haifa.
Hezbollah named two other targets hit by volleys of its projectiles as the Amos base, which it identified as the main base for transportation and logistical support for the northern areas, and an explosive device production factory in the Zikhron area, 60 kilometers (37 miles) away from the Lebanese border.
The strikes used the movement’s 220-milimeter caliber Fadi-1 missiles, which have a range of 80 kilometers (49 miles), and 303-milimeter caliber Fadi-2 ones that can fly as far as 105 kilometers (65 miles).
The operations came a day after the Israeli raids targeted vast swathes of southern and eastern Lebanon, killing at least 492 people, including 35 children and 58 women, and wounding 1,645 others.
Later on Monday, Hezbollah released volleys of rockets against at least seven targets in the occupied territories, including Rafael Electronics Company north of Haifa, in response to the raids.
According to Israeli media outlets, hundreds of thousands of illegal settlers fled to their local bomb shelters amid the barrages.
The regime has markedly intensified its attacks against the country since October 7, when it launched a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.
Hezbollah has responded with numerous strikes against the occupied Palestinian territories as a means of both retaliating against the regime and displaying support for the war-hit Gazans.
