I think this is an interesting find which speaks volumes about the deployment tactics of Hezbollah and explains quite a bit why civilians may die in our strikes.

Though I'm sure it will be contested by some members it shows a very clear picture of what a mainstay of Hezbollah is.

The video seems to be of a precision munition that is fired at the rocket battery, the video is paused to give a better look at the rocket battery before it is unpaused to show the final moments of the bomb. I dont know if their were people in the houses near the rocket battery.

I think its safe to say it's neither of those as both are under IDF control and even if this is an outdated video which it doesnt appear to be we wouldnt be bombing the town while we had troops fighting for it.

I can see the last leg your trying to stand on is that it's ok because the town they are in is completely deserted, which quite frankly is one of the weakest explinations I ahve heard on here for Hezbollah action.

What's the IDF policy on targets with sizable civillian population nearby? I remember reading an article in which the IAF head was saying how they refused to fire on targets that had civillians within the blast readius. He was talking about gaza though.
