BEIRUT, Lebanon, Sept. 5 (UPI) -- Taped footage showed Hezbollah operatives removing arms from a house in southern Lebanon following a blast that rocked the building.
An Israeli surveillance drone took pictures of the site minutes after a blast rocked the building, Israel's Channel One network reported Saturday.
The house was used by Hezbollah to store arms in an area under the control of the U.N.peacekeeping force, Lebanese officials said. The explosion occurred on Friday afternoon.
The blast tore through a three-story building in Shehabiyeh south of the Litani River, the Lebanese newspaper The Daily Star said Saturday. It was not clear if there were any casualties.
Israeli security officials said the building where the blast occurred is owned by a Hezbollah operative and is a known weapons storage facility used by Hezbollah in violation of U.N. Security Resolution 1701
The resolution, ratified at the end of the Second Lebanon war in 2006, bars Hezbollah from carrying arms south of the Litani River.
