Hezbollah unveiled the Qader-1 ballistic missile, targeting the Mossad headquarters in Tel Aviv. This marked the group’s first deep strike into Israel using a guided system. The missile’s interception triggered warning sirens, escalating tensions. The Qader-1, a precision-guided short-range missile with a range of 190 km, is equipped with over 500 kg of explosives and is capable of manoeuvring during flight.
The Iranian-made missile, a variant of Iran’s Shahab-3, was first revealed in 2007 and used in 2015. Hezbollah also unveiled new weapons, including the Fadi 1 and Fadi 2 rockets. Israel’s tactics in the conflict were described as targeting residential areas to pressure Hezbollah.
Hezbollah’s use of advanced weaponry and new tactics has reshaped the conflict with Israel, drawing attention to the evolving nature of warfare in the region. The unveiling of these missiles highlights the group’s increasing military capabilities and strategic presence in the region.
