Hezbollah unveils 'Fateh 110' ballistic missile in targeting Israeli sites
The Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah has for the first time unveiled its surface-to-surface "Fateh 110" ballistic missiles in footage that shows targeting of a number of Israeli sites with the advanced projectile.
Hezbollah was quoted by Lebanon's al-Manar television network as saying in a statement that the Fateh 110 missile is a “precision surface-to-surface missile [which is] employed to bomb vital targets with an accuracy of up to 10 meters.”
The resistance group said the solid-fuel missile features high destructive capacity, and can be launched from fixed or mobile platforms.
The missile is 8.8 meters long and has a 616-milimeter diameter. It weighs 3,450 kg and a warhead weighing 500 kg, which has a range of 300 km, can be mounted on it.
The television network also showed scenes of the Lebanese resistance movement’s targeting of Tserfin base belonging to the Israeli occupation army south of Tel Aviv with Fateh 110 missiles.
Hezbollah confirmed that it had bombed the Tserfin base near Ben Gurion Airport south of Tel Aviv “with a salvo of qualitative missiles.”
The movement said its fighters also struck the cities of Haifa, Tel Aviv and Ben Gurion Airport with ballistic missiles.
The resistance said the operation comes “in support of our steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and in support of their valiant and honorable resistance, and in defense of Lebanon and its people.”
Hezbollah has conducted hundreds of such strikes since last October, when the regime launched a genocidal war on Gaza and markedly intensified its deadly aggression against Lebanon.
The brutal military onslaught has so far claimed the lives of more than 43,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, while the escalation against Lebanon has killed upwards of 3,000 people.
In his second public address since assuming Hezbollah leadership on Wednesday, Sheikh Naim Qassem said the Lebanese resistance movement is determined to force Israel to seek an end to its war on Lebanon, stating that only the battlefield can bring to end the ongoing war.
The Hezbollah chief said there is no place within Israel that "our drones and missiles cannot reach," adding that the movement does not rely on political efforts to halt the conflict.
The Lebanese resistance movement has vowed to sustain its strikes on the Israeli-occupied territories as long as the regime keeps the escalation in southern Lebanon and the war on Gaza.
