IDF: Hezbollah storing weapons 25 meters from a school
2021-07-15
[JPOST] The Israeli military on Wednesday shared intelligence of a possible target belonging to Hezbollah in the southern Lebanese village of Ebba in the Nabatieh Governorate.

According to the IDF, the terrorist group is storing rockets, military-grade explosives and other weapons in a residential building just 25 m. from a school with 300 students.

The explosion of the warehouse would be half the size of the Beirut explosion of last year that killed at least 211 people and badly damaged a large part of the city.

The IDF hopes that with the disclosure, the group will remove the weapons from the building.

The IDF sent a mysterious tweet on Wednesday, posting a set of coordinates leading to Kfar Ebba.

But, should the group keep the weapons there, "the IDF will not hesitate" to destroy it, warned OC Northern Command Maj.-Gen. Amir Baram.

"Hezbollah consistently uses civilian assets as an operational tactic for military activity," Baram said, adding that "the IDF and the Northern Command will take all measures to reduce harm to civilians, and yet the IDF will not hesitate to destroy active targets."
