[IsraelTimes] The Israel Defense Forces releases information on two additional sites in Beirut allegedly used by the Hezbollah terror group to manufacture parts for precision-guided missiles, following the revelation of one such site by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the United Nations
...a formerly good idea gone bad...
General Assembly earlier in the evening.

One is an underground facility built beneath four seven-story apartment buildings in which 70 families live, east of Beirut’s international airport.

A church is located nearby, as is a medical center, according to the military.

The second is located under a complex of five apartment buildings in which some 50 families live. According to the IDF, the missile production facility is located approximately 90 meters from a mosque.

Israel has repeatedly warned that it will take action to prevent Hezbollah from completing its so-called precision project, an effort to convert its massive arsenal of simple rockets into highly accurate missiles, which present a far greater challenge to Israel’s air defenses and would potentially be a game-changer in the conflict with the Iran-backed militia.
Another Times of Israel article adds:
Last week, what was reported to be a Hezbollah weapons stockpile blew up in Ein Qana. While the terror group has denied any casualties, it released a statement a few days later mourning a senior commander in the Lebanese terror group killed "while performing his duty."

The senior officer, Ali Najib Marwa, is rumored to have been killed in the earth-shattering kaboom, which Hezbollah has deemed "a technical error."
