IDF video 'proves Hezbollah stored arms at blast site'
By Amos Harel, Haaretz Correspondent, and Haaretz Service
The Israel Defense Forces on Tuesday released a video that the army said proved Hezbollah stored weapons in a home in south Lebanon, where an official in the Shi'ite militant group reportedly died in an explosion Monday.
In the video, which was taken by an IDF drone, a group of Hezbollah militants is seen removing the weapons from the building and loading them onto a truck in the village of Tayr Filsi, the army said.
The video shows two trucks driving off carrying the arms, according to the army, and then arriving at an arms stockpile in another village, Dir a-Nahar.
The Lebanese army and United Nations peacekeepers are later seen in the video arriving at the site of the explosion.
Hezbollah operatives are also shown covering up the vehicle, in order to conceal its load, the IDF said.
The stockpiling of weapons by Hezbollah in south Lebanon is a violation of United Nations Resolution 1701, which ended the Second Lebanon War between Israel and the militant organization in 2006. The resolution called for the disarmament of Hezbollah and banned paramilitary forces south of the Litani River.
Earlier Tuesday, the Lebanese army backed Hezbollah's claim that one person was wounded and none killed in the explosion.
According to the Lebanese army, the explosion at the home of a senior group official was caused by a shell. The United Nations peacekeeping force in Lebanon is still investigating the source of the munitions.
But Lebanese sources said on Monday that five people were killed in the blast, including the Hezbollah official, Saeed Nasser, and his son.
