Field sources revealed some of the details of Hezbollah's latest attack on the Israeli Ramat David Airbase, where new types of heavy rockets were deployed early on Sunday. 

As per the Islamic Resistance's statement, Hezbollah fighters fired dozens of Fadi-1 and Fadi-2 long-range rocket artillery shells at the strategic Israeli Air Force base, located to the east of the city of Haifa. 

Located in the occupied Nassriyah district, in the Jezreel Valley, the base is home to several Israeli Air Force squadrons and F-16 fighter jets that are responsible for launching onslaughts on Lebanese territory. 

Hezbollah's Military Media Unit released a video, highlighting key details and information about the base just after it announced the Resistance's responsibility for the attack. 

The Ramat David Airbase

The Ramat David Airbase, or the Ezer Weizman base or Wing 1, is the main base the Israeli occupation forces use for aerial operations in the northern direction, toward Lebanon and Syria. It is also the only Israeli Air Force airbase in northern occupied territories. 

Among the squadrons that the base hosts are, the 109 Squadron "The Valley" - operating F-16D Barak fighter jets, the 105 Squadron "Scorpion" - operating F-16D Barak fighter jets, and the 101 Squadron "First Fighter" - operating F-16C Barak fighter jets. 

The base also hosts the 160 Squadron "Shadow Hunter" and 157 Squadron "Within the Valley", which operate classified unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and the 193 Squadron "Defenders of the West", which operates an AS565 Panther helicopters, tasked with naval reconnaissance.

Moreover, the base also hosts four squadrons tasked with field support, maintenance, and management of the operations.

Al Mayadeen's sources: Strictly a response to Israeli raids on Lebanon 

Field sources speaking to Al Mayadeen confirmed that the rockets launched at the Ramat David Airbase originated from Hezbollah's complex underground "Imad" bases, which host multiple rocket launchers and forces. 

Sources said that the Imad 4 base displayed in one of Hezbollah's cinematic videos is one of dozens that have "not been affected by all of the enemies' raids."

Our sources emphasized that this attack did not include the use of precision-guided missiles and was only a preliminary response to Israeli aggression. 

Stressing that the attack came in response to the continued and large-scale raids on Lebanese territories, our sources pointed out that Hezbollah's statement did not mention a response to the Israeli aggression on the Southern Suburbs of Beirut or the assassination of commanders or the communication devices terror attack. 

Fadi-1, Fadi-2 rockets

Our sources also revealed several details regarding the Fadi-1 and Fadi-2 rocket artillery shells fired by Hezbollah fighters for the first time on Sunday. 

These long-range artillery rockets have been put in use for the first time since Hezbollah launched their military support campaign to the Palestinian people, on October 8, 2023. 

Fadi-1 

The Fadi-1 is a 220 mm caliber rocket launched from a multiple rocket launcher (MLR) and is one of the rockets seen in the Imad 4 video. It also has a maximum range of 80 km. 

Fadi-2 

The Fadi-2 is a 302 mm caliber rocket launched from an MLR and is also one of the rockets seen in the Imad 4 video. The projectile has a maximum range of 105 km. 

These systems were put into use on Sunday to underline that Hezbollah's support front, which Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wants to end, is expanding in range and targets.
