Hezbollah's military media has published the specifications of the new Qader 2 and Nasr 1 missiles, which were reportedly utilized in the attacks on Tel Aviv on Monday.

The new missiles were put into service on October 14.

Hezbollah fighters launched a barrage of missiles toward the suburbs of Tel Aviv on Monday in response to "Israel's" assaults on Lebanese cities and civilians. The Resistance subsequently published footage of the operation, confirming that the targeting was carried out with Qader 2 missiles.

The Qader 2 is a surface-to-surface, point-precision ballistic missile engineered by Hezbollah fighters. It can strike vital targets with an accuracy of up to 5 meters. The missile has a caliber of 620 mm, a length of 8.6 m, a total weight of 3,200 kg, a warhead weight of 405 kg, and a range of 250 km.

The Nasr 1 is a surface-to-surface precision-guided missile designed by Hezbollah members for striking critical infrastructure and port facilities, boasting a precision accuracy of up to 5 meters. The missile features high maneuverability to evade air defense systems and is resistant to electronic jamming. It has a caliber of 302 mm, a warhead weight of 100 kg, and a range of 100 km.

Later, the Resistance published footage of launching Nasr 1 rockets at Beit Lid barracks, east of Netanya.

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon released footage of a large rocket barrage launched at Safad in northern occupied Palestine. On October 14, they announced the targeting of the Stella Maris naval base northwest of Haifa with high-end rockets. Hezbollah's Military Media also published footage of an operation targeting the Karmiel settlement in northern occupied Palestine on the same day.

Hezbollah claimed to have destroyed two Israeli Merkava tanks in South Lebanon early Thursday. At 12:50 am (local time), Hezbollah's anti-armor units fired an anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) at an Israeli Merkava main battle tank positioned on al-Labbouneh Hill, resulting in a direct impact that set the tank ablaze and caused casualties among its crew. Shortly after, at 2:00 am, Hezbollah's Military Media announced that fighters had fired another ATGM at a second Merkava tank in the same location, which also caught fire, leading to additional crew casualties.
