The Fadi rocket family is Hezbollah's open-source label for a medium-range unguided rocket line that surfaced publicly in September 2024. Reporting describes Fadi-1 and Fadi-2 as heavier, longer-range barrage rockets than earlier Hezbollah systems, with the 302 mm branch tied to the Syrian-made M-302/Khaibar-1 family and all variants suited to inaccurate area attacks on military and industrial targets.
In the 2023 Israel-Hezbollah Conflict, Hezbollah said it fired Fadi-1 and Fadi-2 rockets at the Ramat David airbase and Rafael-linked industrial targets in northern Israel; open-source reporting described the family as a more powerful but still inaccurate medium-range rocket line used for the first time in September 2024.
Open-source reporting ties the 302 mm branch of the family to a known Syrian rocket line, which makes that catalog page the clearest side-by-side reference point.

Open-source reporting makes the Fadi family easiest to read by variant. The table below keeps the documented pieces separate from speculation and preserves the family’s split between the 220 mm and 302 mm branches.
| Variant | Documented features | Reader note |
|---|---|---|
| Fadi-1 | 220 mm caliber; about 6 m long; about 83 kg explosive payload; about 70 km range | Hezbollah publicly used it in the 22 September 2024 attacks on northern Israel. |
| Fadi-2 | 302 mm caliber; about 6 m long; about 170 kg explosive payload; about 100 km range | Open-source analysis ties this branch to the Syrian-made M-302/Khaibar-1 family. |
| Fadi-3 | Publicly reported in September 2024 | Reuters reporting via the Jerusalem Post said Hezbollah used it against an Israeli army base on 24 September 2024. |
