HIZBULLAH WEAPONS CACHE EXPLODED IN SOUTH LEBANON
Lebanese security officials said, on Friday 09/03/2010, that several explosions caused a large fire in a southern village of Shehabiyeh, 15 km East of Tyre. Five people were injured in the incident, they said. Several hours later, the IDF Spokesperson’s Office released footage taken from an unmanned aerial vehicle, showing smoke billowing over the area.
An army source said the blasts might have been triggered by an explosion at a weapons depot belonging to the Hizbullah terror group in a civilian populated village south to the Litani River.
The al-Jazeera news channel reported that the explosions occurred at a weapons depot located in the three-storey home of a Hizbullah operative. Lebanese army forces arrived at the scene and cordoned off the area, prevented UNIFIL troops from examining the area, pointing to suspicions that the Lebanese army was cooperating with Hizbullah.
In a statement issued Friday night, Hezbollah claimed no one was killed or injured in the blasts and that the Lebanese army was looking into the “circumstances of the fire.” According to a Lebanese report, the explosion may have been caused by a generator which caught fire along with a fuel oil tank.
Israeli security sources noted that the incident proves once again that Hezbollah holds weapons in the heart of a civilian population and endangers southern Lebanon’s residents.
IDF officials stressed that the Lebanese army prevented UNIFIL troops from examining the area, pointing to suspicions that the Lebanese army was cooperating with Hezbollah.
According to UN Resolution 1701, which ended the summer 2006 war between Israel and Hizbullah in Lebanon, the area south of the Litani River is supposed to be free of weapons.
