Images released by the IDF purport to show how Hezbollah stores munitions inside civilian homes.

According to the military, the long-range missile seen in the pictures was on a hydraulic system in the attic of a home in the southern Lebanon village of Houmine al-Tahta.

“It is ready to launch from an opening in the roof. A Lebanese family lives on the first floor, under the attic, serving as a human shield,” IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari says in a press conference.

“This is an immediate and real threat to Israeli civilians, and we have an obligation to remove it,” he adds.
