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 Islamic Republic was two weeks away from obtaining the bomb, according to the U.S. president.
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun met with local in the country’s southeast, not far from where IDF troops destroyed a major Hezbollah base.
“We do not have evidence the actors succeeded in fielding an operational device, but they did test-fire a guided rocket,” the AI company said.
“No one, including members of Congress, are above the law,” a spokesman for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security told JNS.
