A Hezbollah arms depot exploded in the village of Ain Qana in southern Lebanon on Tuesday was caused by a “technical error,” a security source told Reuters.

The blast, which reportedly did not cause many injuries, comes weeks after massive multiple explosions at the Beirut Port on Aug. 4 that resulted in nearly 200 deaths, thousands of injuries and caused extensive damage throughout the capital city of Beirut.

Morevoer, it has rocked an already unstable country.

A second security source told Reuters that the Iran-backed terrorist organization Hezbollah has set up a security perimeter around the site of the blast in the group’s stronghold.

Video of the wreckage shows a completely destroyed and charred area.

The U.N. Security Council approved a resolution last month that slightly reduced the number of U.N. peacekeepers (UNIFIL) in southern Lebanon.

Ali Ahmad Ali Amrain “worked to supply various weapons for the Hamas terrorist organization,” the military said.
“Every terrorist target and any target that supports terrorism in Lebanese territory will be struck.”
The Earthquake Faction claimed responsibility for the attack, pledging to fight the “Zionist entity” by any means effective.
Border Police officers also found content glorifying terrorism on the 21-year-old’s phone.
“What the enemy is trying to push through today against the Palestinian resistance, via our brotherly mediators, is extremely dangerous,” the terrorist group said.
“Our mission is clear: to protect the residents of the north,” the brigade’s commander said.
