Israeli Army Publishes Map of Alleged Hizbullah Posts in S. Lebanon

In a rare move, the Israeli army has published on Twitter a map of alleged Hizbullah positions, infrastructure and armaments in south Lebanon.

The map, according to Israel's Channel 2, features “over 200 towns and villages” and shows over “10,000 potential targets for Israeli strikes” in the event of a new war between Israel and Hizbullah.

A caption on the photo notes that it had been “declassified.”

Channel 2 noted in its report that the same map has been shown to “practically every foreign diplomat” visiting Israel.

In April, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu admitted for the first time that Israel had carried out “dozens” of strikes on attempted arms transfers for Hizbullah inside Syria, promising it would continue to target the smuggling of “game changing” weaponry.
