Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement has launched its farthest-reaching strike against the occupied Palestinian territories since October, when the Israeli regime escalated its aggression on Lebanon.

On Sunday, the movement fired “dozens of Fadi-1 and Fadi-2 missiles” against Ramat David, an Israeli air force base located in the northern part of the territories, just 20 kilometers (12 miles) southeast of the city of Haifa.

It specified Fadi-1 as a 220-milimeter caliber missile with a range of 80 kilometers (49 miles), and Fadi-2 as a 303-milimeter caliber projectile that can fly as far as 105 kilometers (65 miles).

The strike was followed by two more barrages, during which 15 and 20 rockets were respectively fired towards the base, which houses warplanes and helicopter gunships as well as offensive electronic warfare systems among other military equipment.

Hezbollah has been staging numerous such strikes against the occupied territories since October 7, when the regime notably escalated its attacks on Lebanon, especially its southern areas, after launching a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.

The movement’s operations have been aimed both at retaliating against the regime and displaying support for the war-hit Gazans.

Describing its Sunday operation, the movement likewise said it had carried out the strike “in support of our steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and in support of their brave and honorable resistance.”

The operation was also meant as a response to “the repeated Israeli attacks that targeted various Lebanese regions and led to the fall of many civilian martyrs,” it added.
