The Israel Defense Forces on Monday night released video and photographic documentation of how Hezbollah stores munitions inside the homes of civilians in Southern Lebanon, including images of a long-range missile on a hydraulic system in the attic of a home in the village of Houmine al-Tahta.

“It is ready to launch from an opening in the roof. Under the attic, on the first floor, a Lebanese family lives, serving as a human shield,” IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said in a press conference.

“This is an immediate and real threat to Israeli civilians, and we have an obligation to remove it,” he added.

Also, the IDF released video footage of an airstrike against a Lebanese home where Hezbollah had stored munitions. The video shows a rocket flying out of the building after the strike and hitting an adjacent house.

The effort is aimed at “ensuring that the nation’s capacity to build and deploy this vital defensive weapon will outpace any adversary’s threat,” the U.S. Defense Department stated.
Israel’s wartime restrictions on the country’s airspace are tentatively in place through April 16.
“To impose such a requirement selectively on Jewish and pro-Israel students raises serious concerns about unequal treatment and viewpoint discrimination,” Students Supporting Israel stated.
The brand told JNS that it will be “evaluating packaging differentiation and working with our retail partners to ensure clearer in-store separation and signage where needed.”
Israeli forces arrested the Hezbollah-linked field commander near Mount Dov after an intelligence-led operation, the military said.
“These platforms can become breeding grounds for harassment and hateful activity that harms players directly, normalizes hateful ideologies and damages trust,” Jonathan Greenblatt stated.
