Hezbollah Launches Israel's Undetected Large Missile Complex
JAKARTA - Hezbollah launched Imad 4, a large missile complex with long underground tunnels and large rocket launchers, as well as no Israeli reconnaissance capabilities.
The Hezbollah media wing released a short, longer than four-minute video showing off the Imad 4 facility. The video footage highlights the scale of underground installations that include large rocket launchers and military equipment stationed in extensive tunnels.
The video also shows Hezbollah members riding motorbikes through tunnels.
As reported by ANTARA from Anadolu-OANA, Friday, August 16, Hezbollah said the facility was not only hidden from Israeli enemy reconnaissance capabilities but also provided protection against potential attacks.
The video includes a statement from the Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, who said that the resistance rocket covered the entire Palestinian territory of Kiryat Shmona in the north to Eilat in the south.

Images of Imad Mughniyeh, who is the party's military leader, were also shown on video. Imad was killed in Syria in 2008 and replaced by Fouad Shukr who was killed by Israel in Beirut on July 30 this year.
Concerns over the occurrence of a major war between Israel and Hezbollah are increasing amid the exchange of cross-border attacks.
The escalation comes with the background of Israel's deadly attack on Gaza, which has killed more than 40,000 people since last October, since an attack by Palestinian resistance group Hamas.
