Israeli Forces Strike Hezbollah Weapon Stockpiles Hidden in Lebanese Residences
Many Lebanese buildings targeted by Israel’s air raids show secondary explosions when weapons stored inside explode.
As the air and missile war between Israel and Hezbollah intensifies, the terrorist group’s weapons stored in civilians’ homes have become a key Israeli target.
Israel’s intensified strikes over the past few days have taken hundreds of lives.
Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), said many of those were Hezbollah fighters, and more were killed when the targeted Hezbollah munitions overheated and exploded.
Hagari speaking on video on Sept. 23, used diagrams to show how Hezbollah stores large cruise missiles inside civilian homes and how walls are designed to open to allow the rockets to fire.
IDF aerial photography even captured what appeared to be the wall of a multi-story house dropping away in such a manner.
The video shows the house being destroyed “in a precise strike,” before the missile within could be launched, Hagari said.
“We ask residents of Lebanese villages to pay attention to the message and warnings published by the IDF, and heed them,” Hagari said.
“This is an advance warning for your own safety and the safety of your family.
