| Israel releases footage of Hezbollah home blast |
| 2009-10-16 |
| [Al Arabiya Latest] The Israeli military released footage from one of its drones on Tuesday allegedly showing Hezbollah members recovering dozens of rockets from a home that was hit by an explosion in southern Lebanon the day before. The military video allegedly shows members of Hezbollah sealing off the explosion site, recovering dozens of rockets, some four meters long, and driving them away in two covered trucks. The content of the video, including the date and location, are yet to be verified by Lebanese officials. The Lebanese army said the blast at a Hezbollah member's home in the village of Tayr Filsay, near the southern port city of Tyre, was caused by an exploding shell and injured one person. The army statement gave no details about the shell that caused the blast. Hezbollah acknowledged the home belonged to one of its members. The blast prompted Israel's President Shimon Peres to warn that Hezbollah and its growing arsenal are turning Lebanon into a "powder keg" standing in the way of peace. Lebanese officials said that the garage may have been used to store weapons, a violation of the United Nations resolution that ended the month long war between Israel and Hezbollah in 2006. The U.N. resolution called for the disarmament of Hezbollah and for an international arms embargo against the group. Israel claims Hezbollah has tripled its arsenal since the war and now has tens of thousands of rockets. |
