Hezbollah Employs Nasr-2 Missiles Against Israeli Targets

The Lebanese resistance group Hezbollah has commenced the use of Nasr-2 precision-guided missiles to strike Israeli military installations, with reports confirming an attack on an Israeli naval base in Haifa.

The Nasr-2 missile, a surface-to-surface weapon weighing 650 kg and featuring a 140 kg warhead, has an operational range of 150 kilometers.

On Tuesday, sirens were activated across various locations in Israel, including Tel Aviv, Haifa, the Galilee Panhandle, and the occupied Golan Heights. Multiple rockets impacted near Nahariya, leading to significant alerts. Shortly thereafter, Hezbollah released a statement confirming the bombing of the Nirit Dome near Tel Aviv using "qualitative missiles." A subsequent strike targeted the Glilot military intelligence headquarters in the city outskirts, prompting local authorities to declare a state of emergency.

Hezbollah's operations also included an attack on the Stella Maris naval base in northwest Haifa, further demonstrating the group's increasing military capabilities. Footage captured during the incidents displayed the intensity of the explosions, which were reported across numerous regions.

In addition to these strikes, a rocket launched from Lebanon directly impacted an Israeli settlement west of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, with the explosion audible in surrounding areas.

Hezbollah also took responsibility for an operation targeting the residence of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as confirmed by the movement's Media Relations Officer, Mohammed Afif. Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades expressed their support for the operation, emphasizing that actions would be taken against Israeli leaders.

On the ground, Israeli forces continue to confront challenges in their operations in Lebanon. Hezbollah reported clashes with Israeli troops infiltrating the outskirts of Taybeh, resulting in direct hits on the invading forces. The group asserted that they successfully targeted a Merkava tank, leading to destruction and casualties among its crew.

Hezbollah has circulated a video showing an operation conducted on October 15 against a gathering of Israeli military personnel and vehicles near the Lebanese border village of Ramya. Experts noted that the video footage indicates Israeli troops were located just five to ten meters from the border, countering claims of territorial occupation. The operation is estimated to have resulted in injuries or fatalities among eight Israeli troops.

As the ground conflict in Lebanon enters its third week, Iranian analysts suggest that Israeli military casualties along the border may reach as high as 100 daily.
