Hezbollah strikes Tel Aviv with ballistic missiles; enters long-range tactical rocket in anti-Israeli struggle

Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement has struck a major Israeli military base in the city of Tel Aviv with ballistic missiles, besides debuting one of its long-range tactical rockets in its ongoing struggle against the Israeli regime.

On Wednesday, the movement announced targeting the HaKirya base, which is located 120 kilometers (74 miles) from Lebanon’s border with the occupied Palestinian territories in Tel Aviv, with its Qader-2 ballistic missiles.

The group hailed hitting the target “accurately,” and described it as the headquarters of the regime’s ministry of military affairs, the Israeli military’s General Staff, its war management room, and its air force's Military Control and Supervision Authority.

This was the second time the movement’s fighters were targeting the outpost within a day after striking it with a squadron of attack drones.

Hezbollah pounds Israel’s military headquarters in Tel Aviv

Lebanon’s resistance movement Hezbollah has for the first time attacked the headquarters of Israel’s military in Tel Aviv.

The movement also released a video marking its starting deployment of its Fadi-6 missiles against the regime.

It said the projectile was 302 millimeters in diameter, weighed 650 kilograms, including its 140-kilomgram warhead, and could fly as far as 225 kilometers (139 miles).

Hezbollah further identified the missile as a surface-to-surface projectile used for striking targeted areas with a small margin of error, adding that the missile was being deployed to expand the group’s operational range.

The movement, meanwhile, released another video, depicting its deployment of the missiles against the Tel Nof airbase southeast of Tel Aviv, and describing the outpost as the Israeli air force’s oldest main base that houses numerous F-15 warplanes and drones as well as units specializing in the electronic warfare.

Also on Wednesday, the group hit the IWI Military Weapons Industries Company, 110 kilometers (68 miles) from Lebanon’s border in the city of Ramat Hasharon on the outskirts of Tel Aviv, with a missile barrage for the first time.

Elsewhere in Tel Aviv’s suburbs, Hezbollah targeted the Glilot base, which is the headquarters of the Israeli army’s Military Intelligence Unit 8200, with another missile barrage.

Separately, the group launched an aerial attack with a squadron of attack drones on the Amos base, the transportation formation outpost in the occupied territories’ northern region, west of the city of Afula.

Other targets of the movement’s Wednesday operations featured the illegal settlements of Avivim, Manara, and Katzrin.

The group said the operations had taken place “in support of our steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and in support of their brave and honorable resistance, and in defense of Lebanon and its people.”

Hezbollah has been putting up stiff resistance in the face of the Israeli regime’s October 2023-present escalated aggression against the country that has claimed the lives of at least 3,360 people, including women and children, so far.

Hezbollah leader to fighters: You are the pride shaking foundations of Zionism

Hezbollah’s leader writes a letter addressed to the movement’s fighters, hailing their ongoing proud struggle in the face of the Israeli regime and its supporters.

The retaliation has featured hundreds of successful operations against the occupied territories and the Israeli forces trying to advance on southern Lebanese areas.

Earlier in the day, the movement said more than 100 Israeli forces had been killed and over 1,000 others wounded as a result of its reprisal.

Most recently, the group addressed a message to its Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem, reaffirming the premium status of its preparedness and capabilities.

“From the land of resistance and steadfastness, from the mountains of the steadfast South [Lebanon]: These capabilities are still good and ready at your command," the message read.
