Hezbollah Removes Weaponry from Explosion Site on 12 Oct 2009
On October 12, 2009, there was an explosion at a Hezbollah weapons storehouse in Tayr Filsay, in southern Lebanon. This aerial footage, taken shortly after the explosion, shows Hezbollah operatives closing down the area around the warehouse, driving in two trucks and removing weaponry from the site. They then took the weapons to a known weapons storage facility in the center of the village of Dir a-Nahar about four kilometers away. Only after Hezbollah removed the weaponry did they allow UNIFIL and the Lebanese Army to enter the site of the explosion. The IDF has submitted the footage to UNIFIL to aid in their investigation of the incident.
Rumours are going around that Syria has made a decision to make available to Hezbollah every type of military hardware in its arsenal.
Perhaps it is the case that Syria does not wish to enter into a direct conflict with Israel, thus it is using Hezbollah and Hamas as proxies. But, if Israel gets into another conflict with Hamas and Hezbollah and it goes into Damascus, it would give Syria enough reason to retaliate and attack Israel which would undoubtedly pull in Iran and eventually the whole
region.
If all this is true, and you know the rumour-mill, Israel has shown extraordinary restraint and patience throughout these years.
For how long can they keep this up?
