Evidence filmed after the explosion of a weaponry warehouse

Pictures taken by an UAV of the Israeli Air Force after the explosion of a Hezbollah weaponry warehouse on Monday (Oct. 12) in Tyre in the southern Lebanon, show Hezbollah operatives smuggling Katyusha rockets and other weaponry out of the destroyed warehouse into another one in the southern Lebanon.

The video filmed by the UAV that was directed to the location of the incident after the explosion, clearly shows a large number of people arriving at the scene and loading Katyusha rockets and other weaponry onto trucks. Afterwards they cover the weaponry in order to hide it and drive with hit to another weaponry storage in the village of Dir Kanun A-Nahar, were they unload the weaponry. Later Lebanese army and UNIFIL forces are seen arriving at the site of the explosion.

The possession of weaponry by Hezbollah in the southern Lebanon, in the area south of the Litani River, is a severe violation of the UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which ended the Second Lebanon War in 2006.

This is not the first evidence of such violations by Hezbollah lately. Last July another weaponry warehouse of the terror organization also exploded in the southern Lebanon.
