Hezbollah first hit Israel with the powerful Fadi rockets

The responsibility for launching Fadi rockets was assumed to you by a stronger weapon, a larger range, but not very precise. This is the first time Hezbollah has used Fadi missiles since the start of Israel’s war with Hamas, on October 7, 2023. The Iranian agency Mehr, citing the Shia organization, described a multi-purpose ground-ground rocket. Fadi-1 is 6 metres long, 220 mm caliber, with a charge of 83 kg and a range of 70 km. Fadi-2, which Hezbollah used on Sunday, is of the same size but its load reaches 170 kg and its range of 100 km. According to Elliot Chapman, a private, British information service specialist Janes, the non-directed rocket resembles the 302 mm Syrian Khaibar, which in turn is a version of the Chinese WS-1. The rocket is clearly distinguished in a video that Hezbollah released in August, where its fighters are depicted in large, illuminated tunnels, dug into the rock, as well as a hatch where there is a large launcher. Unknown where rockets are manufactured So far there is no information as to where these rockets are manufactured, in Lebanon or abroad. The number of rockets available to Hezbollah remains unknown. According to various reliable estimates, the organization has thousands of, unguided rockets of different types, capable of hitting targets within a radius of 45-200 km. “The consequences of Israeli air injuries to Hezbollah’s potential remain unknown,” Chapman said. According to Israeli centre Alma, the Fadi rocket bears the name of Fanti Hassan Tauil, a member of Hezbollah killed by Israel in 1987. His brother, Wisam Tauil, commander of the organization’s Radwan force, was killed last January by an Israeli blow to his car.
