Hezbollah unveils new missile facility, warns Israel of ‘unexpected destiny’
Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement has unveiled a sophisticated underground missile facility at the same time as addressing a strong warning to the Israeli regime.
The movement revealed the “Imad 4” facility in a video released by its Military Media outlet on Friday.
The facility features a convoluted tunnel network, missile launchpads, and blast doors opening outwards that could be used for launching the projectiles towards predetermined targets.
Reporting on the footage, Lebanon’s al-Mayadeen television network cited sources as saying that the facility was also outfitted with a “secure communication network” linking it to the outside world. Using the network, the facility can “receive launch orders within minutes,” it noted.
“Imad 4” also benefits from a “comprehensive logistics team, as well as dedicated construction, security, and backup launch teams,” the network added.
“These teams operate based on predetermined coordinates for launching operations.”
The movement, meanwhile, warned the regime through caption superimposed on the video that if it brought Lebanon under yet another war, ”it will face a destiny and reality it didn’t expect any day.”
“War with us extends across all of Palestine, from the Lebanese border to the Jordanian border to the Red Sea…from Kiryat Shmona to Eilat,” it added. The last two locations refer to two cities lying respectively in the northernmost and southernmost parts of the occupied Palestinian territories.
The Israeli regime has been conducting near-daily attacks against the southern parts of Lebanon since October 7, when it launched a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.
Hezbollah has been responding with strikes aimed both at retaliating against the regime and supporting the war-hit Gazans.
Hezbollah officials have repeatedly stated that they do not seek war with Israel but are prepared if it occurs.
The regime, which waged wars against Lebanon in 2000 and 2006, has, meanwhile, been repeatedly threatening to expand its attacks into another wholesale military onslaught against the country.
Hezbollah has vowed to defend the Lebanese soil with all its resources.
It has also pledged to avenge the blood of Fuad Shukr, one of the group’s senior commanders, and Ismail Haniyeh, the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas’ former political leader, who were killed in separate assassination operations conducted by Tel Aviv in Lebanon’s capital Beirut and the Iranian capital Tehran late last month.
Lebanon’s resistance movement Hezbollah has once again stressed its determination to retaliate against the Israeli assassination of its senior commander, despite US efforts to spare its ally the consequences of its crimes.
The video featured excerpts from a speech by Hezbollah’s Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, in which he asserted that “the resistance is stronger than ever since its inception in the region.”
Still citing its sources, al-Mayadeen noted that “the resistance maintains larger, more critical facilities designed to accommodate larger and heavier projectiles, including precision missiles.”
