| Israeli Army Video Shows Hizbullah Allegedly Removing Arms from Shehabiyeh Blast Site |
| 2010-09-07 |
| [An Nahar] Video footage released by the Israeli army on Sunday of a suspected Hizbullah arms cache, which accidentally exploded last week, shows people removing long-range rockets from the structure and transferring them to other locations. Several kabooms were heard at the three-storey building in the southern town of Shehabiyeh on Friday. The Israeli army "immediately dispatched an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to film the scene and defense officials said that the home was previously known to Israel as a significant arms cache used by Hizbullah fighters in the area," the Jerusalem Post said Monday. It said the footage shows a pillar of smoke rising from the home as people, likely Hizbullah operatives, cordon off the street below and prevent Lebanese soldiers from approaching the scene of the blast. In addition, the footage shows a canvas sheet spread out atop part of the roof, likely to cover up the crater caused by the kaboom, the newspaper said. Despite the broad daylight, Hizbullah began evacuating some of the weaponry from the site, including 107 and 122 mm rockets, according to the Post. Hizbullah continued to empty the building of its rockets at night, it said. Some of them were taken to nearby homes and others to a mosque in Nabatiyeh, according to the Israeli army footage. |

| #4 A more systematic approach would be calling in a artillery barrage when they are moving rockets. |

| #3 Real bummer when all or your mosque's storage spaces are filled up and you have to out sourcing to houses. Funny how once again it is shown that the Lebanese army is nothing but a cat's paw for Hizbullah. They could even get in to check out the cache for damage. Of course knowing the L. army, they are probably more worried about what they gave Hizbullah going to waste. |

| #1 The Israelis need a systematic approach. Once they identify a Hezbollah arms cache with W Band radar from an aircraft that can look through the roof, then map the cache, and send out a sniper with a .50 cal with incendiary rounds. |
