Hezbollah has deployed a new missile in its latest anti-Israeli operation in support of the Gaza Strip, and in retaliation for the Israeli aggression against Lebanon’s southern areas.
The Lebanese resistance movement announced the operation in a statement on Saturday, identifying the projectile in question as Falaq (Dawn)-2.
The operation, it added, “targeted the headquarters of the Sahel battalion in the Beit Hillel Barracks,” which is located in the northern part of the occupied Palestinian territories.
Completing its statement, Hezbollah said, “This is the first time that Hezbollah has used Falaq-2 missiles over the course of Al-Aqsa Storm.”
“Like the Falaq-1 missile, Falaq-2 operates on solid fuel and has highly destructive capability,” the movement added.
“While Falaq-1 is 240-mm in caliber, 1.25 meters in length, and uses a 50-kilogram warhead, Falaq-2 is faster and more destructive, with its 333-mm caliber, 1.82 meter length, and 117-kilogram warhead,” it noted.
