Hezbollah unveiled on October 16 a short-range precision-guided missile dubbed Jihad-2 and revealed that it was used in a recent attack against the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).
The Military Media of the group released a video of the Jihad-2, which appears to be a miniature version of the Iranian-made Fateh-110 precision-guided ballistic missile with a maximum range of just 20 kilometers and a warhead weighing 250 kg.
The precision-guided missile was especially designed to target fortifications and gatherings near the frontline, the group stated in the video.
Another video released by the group shows a Jihad-2 missile being launched at the Ma’ale Golani barracks. The first part of the same video shows an unguided artillery rocket, dubbed Jihad-1, being launched at the al-Ramtha border site. The Jihad-1 appears to be a downgraded version of the Jihad-2, with a completely different design.
The clashes on the Lebanese-Israeli border first broke out after the start of the war in the Gaza Strip, with Hezbollah launching attacks in support of the Palestinian enclave. Israel escalated its attacks on Lebanon starting from September 17 and on September 27 it assassinated the Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Hassan Nassrallah.
The IDF announced the launch of a limited ground operation against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon on September 30. Since then, the group has escalated its strikes on Israel to an unprecedented level.
