For the first time ever, Lebanon’s Hezbollah announced on September 25 that it had attacked a target in Israel using a ballistic missile.
Hezbollah said in a statement that it had launched a Qadir-1 ballistic missile at the headquarters of Israel’s spy agency, Mossad, in the suburb of the city of Tel Aviv. The attack was carried out in response to recent assassinations in Lebanon and the attack that targeted communication devices across the country a week earlier, the group noted.
The unprecedented set off warning sirens in Tel Aviv and its suburbs. The Israeli Defense Forces later said in a statement that the missile was intercepted by the David’s Sling medium-range air defense system. No injuries were reported by the military.
Later, the IDF announced that it had struck the launcher used to fire the missile in the town of Nafakhiyeh in southern Lebanon, the heartland of Hezbollah.
At least 42 people were killed and more than 3,500 others were wounded on September 17 and 18 in a sabotage attack that saw thousands of pagers and walkie-talkies used by Hezbollah members exploding. Later on September 20, an Israeli strike hit the southern suburb of the Lebanese capital, Beirut, killing Hezbollah top military commander Ibrahim Aqil along with more than 50 other people. Over 68 others were wounded in the strike.
Israel escalated again on September 23, launching an aerial campaign against Hezbollah that has so far claimed the lives of 569 people and left over 1,800 others wounded across Lebanon.
One of the Israeli strikes on September 24 hit Beirut, claiming the life of Ibrahim Kubisi, the commander of Hezbollah missile forces.
Up until the ballistic missile attack on Tel Aviv, Hezbollah had limited its response to rocket attacks on northern and central Israel.
The confrontation between Israel and Lebanon broke out after the beginning of the war in the Gaza Strip last October, with Hezbollah and its allies launching near-daily attacks against the IDF in support of the Palestinian enclave.
So far, the confrontation has resulted in 26 civilian deaths in Israel and the occupied Syrian Golan Heights as well as the deaths of at least 22 soldiers and security officers. On the Lebanese side, more than 1,800 people have been killed, including more than 500 fighters of Hezbollah.

…laughable…
whats laughable is this: gaza is the size of a coke bottle and the world’s most entitled bunch of welfare slurping leeches and most “powerful” army have not yet won. look at what russia has done in 3 years, they hold onto territory the size of many israels, while fighting the combined might of nato. israel, like jews, are overrated. the jews feel good only when they beat on unarmed women and children. hezbollah is not even a country. its a proxy. iran sleeps while israel is burning
lol. says a baby killer supporter.
the ones doing baby killing are your ilk. hezbollah has been quite restrained so far. if you are a netanyahu supporter, i’d recommend checking into a psychiatry ward and lay off the cousins, if you know what i mean
reformer fake iranian president pezeshkian talks with zionists in new york, while muslims fight for their lives. i call it betrayal of muslims and siding with zionists by iran.
its all part of a staged script. iran and america have backroom dealings we are not privy to, one where both can see the jewish plan to bring them against each other in war. iran and america do not want to fight each other for the jewish demons. iran is trying to pump democrat egos because they understand trump will be worse for them. while the jewish demons are doing everything they can to bring about hell on their dinner plate. the jews enjoy shitting in their dinner plate a little too much
pezeshkian is talking with israelis in america. you should follow news a bit. there’s no script blabla. pezeshkian is just a dumba**
hezbollah need to target the airfields of the isreali apartheid regime as using aircraft is their main way of reducing lebanon to rubble, as was done in gaza. the houthis should do the same. perhaps send a few hors d’oeuvres to first deplete air defence and then send the main course.
hezbollah balistic missile stats:
attack: 1000
actual damage: zero
laughable comedy
the zionist jews are digging into long term wars when they have no industrial base. they leech off america for weapons and money like its an entitlement. their arrogance will be their downfall. there is a good reason why jews are useless at governance. for over 2 millenia, they have achieved nothing – no empire, no civilization, no legacy. now we can all see jews have embraced nazism and are self destructing while laughing hysterically about it. its time the muslims impose an embargo on israel
pezeshkian is talking with israelis while in america. you should follow news a bit.
fire missiles and rockets. then activate your only defence mechanism, crying and playing victim. you will get the worldwide support of the followers of the religion of terrorists.
wow, lots of jewish projection here. playing the victim is your game. you cried your way into getting the brits to create israel for you. here’s a tip for you mental midgets: try to see how many enemies you are creating with your lack of self awareness. it actually harms you in the long run. no military solution exists for this jewish stupidity
god bless hezbollah..idf israel soldiers are shitting their pants
