Released on September 6, 2010: Additional footage released today by the IDF shows Hezbollah operatives removing weapons from the site of an explosion in a weapons storage facility in Southern Lebanon, which occurred on September 3, 2010.

The explosion occurred in Al-Shahabiya, a village in southern Lebanon. The footage shows smoke rising from a building, Hezbollah operatives transferring weapons from the building and preventing LAF and UNIFIL forces from approaching the site of the incident. The Hezbollah operatives removed the contents to a new location--a mosque in a nearby village.

This incident is only one of many that clearly show that Hezbollah systematically violates United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701, which stipulates that Hezbollah should be disarmed and that no paramilitary groups will be active south of the Litani river.

Hezbollah operatives can be seen emptying the storage facility and moving the contents to a new location--a mosque in a nearby village.
