Ballistic missile fired at Ben Gurion

Hezbollah revealed: We fired a ground-to-ground missile towards Ben Gurion Airport

Hezbollah revealed today that the two missiles fired at the center were of the Fateh-100 type - a ballistic missile with a range of 300 kilometers and a warhead of 450 kilograms of explosives. Both missiles were intercepted without casualties.

Israel is at war on the 396th day. Hezbollah fired two ground-to-ground missiles today towards the central region. In the morning, the alarm was activated in the Ben Gurion Airport area and northward, and in the afternoon in the Givat Shmuel, Ramat Gan, Bnei Brak, and surrounding areas.

This evening, Hezbollah released a video showing the launch of a Fateh-110 missile. This is about a ground-to-ground missile manufactured in Iran, which was smuggled into Lebanon, and was the focus of Hezbollah's precision missile project – a project that the IDF tried to thwart by any means possible before the war and bombed such missile depots throughout the war.

The missile itself can reach a distance of up to approximately 300 kilometers (in the new models) and carry a warhead of up to 450 kilograms of explosives. It seems he was launched from a specially prepared underground bunker. The missiles were fired towards the center and intercepted by the air defense systems. Some of the debris from the missiles and interceptors landed in the area of Ben Gurion Airport and on a car in the Ra'anana area, with no injuries reported. Smaller fragments scattered throughout the Gush Dan area.

Since the beginning of the war, several ballistic missiles have been launched from Yemen (1,800 kilometers) and a smaller number from Lebanon (100 km), without significant damage. Hundreds of ballistic missiles were launched in the two Iranian attacks on Israel (1,600 kilometers) – on the eve of Passover and on the eve of Rosh Hashanah.
