Israel Matzav: Video: Explosion in Hezbullah ammo dump in Lebanon
Video: Explosion in Hezbullah ammo dump in Lebanon
You may recall that Monday night I reported that there was an explosion in a Hezbullah ammunition dump private home in a village near Tyre in southern Lebanon. Five people were killed.
A few minutes after the explosion, the IAF got an aerial video of the scene.
The video shows Hezbullah closing off the area, driving in 2 trucks and removing items which appear to be different types of rockets and other weaponry. They then drove the trucks to a village 4 km away, and to a building which is a known Hezbullah weapons storehouse.
Only after Hezbullah had cleaned out the explosion site did they allow UNIFIL and the Lebanese army to go in.
The IDF gave UNIFIL the video to help them investigate the matter.
You may recall that there was a similar explosion in a Hezbullah warehouse on July 15.
Obviously, this is a blatant violation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which ended the Second Lebanon War in 2006, but rumor has it that there are hundreds of ammunition dumps like this one in homes throughout southern Lebanon.
Let's go to the videotape.

Israel Matzav: Obama strikes out again: Lavrov says Iran sanctions 'counterproductive'
Obama strikes out again: Lavrov says Iran sanctions 'counterproductive'
Oops.Barack Obama may have thought he was buying Russian cooperation on Iran when he abandoned the United States' allies in Poland and the Czech Republic. But he was wrong.
Secretary of State Clinton met Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Moscow on Tuesday, and Lavrov says that sanctions against Iran would be 'counterproductive.'
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Tuesday that the threat of sanctions against Iran would be counterproductive, resisting US efforts to win agreement for measures if Iran fails to prove its nuclear program is peaceful.
Lavrov spoke following talks with US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who is trying to gauge Moscow's willingness to join the US in imposing sanctions if Iran fails to come clean on its nuclear activities.
Lavrov said Russia's position is that under current conditions even the threat of sanctions against Iran would be counterproductive.
Clinton said the US agreed it was important to pursue diplomacy with Iran.
"At the same time ... we have always looked at the potential of sanctions in the event we are not successful" in persuading Iran to comply, she said at a joint news conference.
What could go wrong?
