Hezbollah issues second statement after Nasrallah's assassination attempt
Hezbollah issued a statement on Saturday claiming that its Islamic Resistance forces successfully launched a volley of Fadi 3 missiles targeting the Ramat David airbase in Israeli Occupation.
Hezbollah stated that the missile strike was a direct response to the "barbaric onslaught" by Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) on cities, villages, and civilians.
The group emphasized that the targeting of "Israeli" bases and airports is part of its support for the steadfast Palestinian people in Gaza and in solidarity with their "brave and honorable resistance."

Hezbollah had issued on Friday night their first official statement following the “Israeli” strike on their main headquarters in Dahieh, Beirut.
