Must be an accident while moving their weapons, same as in Iran.

Rumors say this is an accident from Israel: a drone which they were loosing control then destroyed it?

Exclusive: Israeli Military Intelligence Caused Massive Explosion in Hezbollah South Lebanon Arms Cache

The history of military intelligence is full of nation’s whose personnel made rash, foolish and careless decisions ending in disaster. Israel has done this. Yesterday, news broke that the CIA allowed two Hezbollah double agents penetrate and roll up its Lebanese spy network, in part because U.S. agents met repeatedly at the same Pizza Hut, using the code word “Pizza” to arrange their rendez vous.

Now comes an exclusive report from an authoritative Israeli source with considerable military experience, that IDF military intelligence (Aman) has out foxed Hezbollah by deliberately crash-landing a booby-trapped Trojan Horse drone in southern Lebanon.

Here is how the incident was reported by an unsuspecting Wall Street Journal reporter:

On a recent Saturday afternoon, a radar operated by French United Nations peacekeepers picked up a pilotless Israeli reconnaissance drone crossing into south Lebanon. It was given no more attention than any of the dozens of other surveillance missions flown by the Israelis in Lebanese airspace each month.

But when the drone passed above Wadi Hojeir, a yawning valley with steep, brush-covered slopes, it abruptly vanished from the radar screen. The startled peacekeepers contacted the Lebanese army, and a search of the rugged valley was conducted in the early-evening gloom. Nothing was found.

No one can recall the last time that an Israeli drone malfunctioned over Lebanon and crashed, and there were no reports of antiaircraft fire. The Israelis have said nothing. Neither has Hezbollah, the Lebanese militant group and arch foe of Israel. The peacekeeping force is now abuzz.

And now I can tell them what happened. For over a year, Hezbollah has been attempting to discover how to jam the ground signals commanding the drone so as to disable them in flight. When it discovered the downed craft, its operatives must’ve crowed that they’d finally discovered the key to success. This bit of hubris is how Aman drew Hezbollah into its net. Its soldiers dutifully collected the imagined intelligence trophy and brought it to a large weapons depot it controlled in the area. Once inside the arms cache, Aman detonated the drone causing a massive explosion. Here is how the Daily Star described that event:

A huge explosion shook a Hezbollah stronghold near Siddiqin in the southern coastal city of Tyre overnight, a security source told The Daily Star Wednesday. The source said the cause of the blast, which was heard shortly before midnight, could not be determined due to the heavy security blanket by Hezbollah.

Lebanese security forces were unable to access the scene of the explosion after the resistance group set up a security perimeter around the blast site, which is located in a valley called Wadi Al-Jabal al-Kabir between Siddiqin and Deir Ames, the source added. Local media said the explosion likely took place at a Hezbollah arms cache.

Given that Hezbollah is reputed to have many more missiles and more advanced models than it had before the 2006 Lebanon War, we can only imagine how serious this blow will be to the group’s war fighting capability. Hezbollah is known to possess some of the most advanced Iranian rockets (the Zelzal) in anticipation of possible use should Israel attack Iran. Given the size of the explosion, we should expect that a good deal of its weapons cache in the south has been destroyed.

Hezbollah is known for being highly professional and quite crafty in its intelligence capabilities having penetrated the IDF intelligence network in the 2006 war. That’s why I find it almost inexplicable that its fighters wouldn’t have at least considered the craft might be a Trojan Horse. It’s possible that Hezbollah did consider the idea and searched for an explosive charge & didn’t find one. In that case, the IDF must’ve very cleverly concealed it.

At any rate, as soldiers, even brilliant ones, often do, Hezbollah made a fatal error which the IDF exploited. And before Israel’s supporters jump for joy at another Israeli victory in the unending war on terror, remember that in 1999, a Hezbollah cell phone was brought to the vaunted IDF Unit 8200 headquarters for examination. The soldiers preparing to view it joked “If it explodes, we’ll know.” It did indeed explode seriously wounding the two senior Israeli intelligence officers. Not to mention the major amount of egg it splattered on the face of Israel’s renowned intelligence agency.

The moral being, in this dirty game called asymmetrical warfare, you and your enemy circle each other warily seeking to exploit any weakness. And you will make mistakes because you are only human. The fatal assumption is that your opponent is the only dumb one who will make them, and you never will.

An additional embarrassment for Hezbollah is that the destroyed arms cache is located south of the Litani River in a zone which is forbidden to contain any armaments. This means that the group has committed a major violation of the UN ceasefire resolution 1701.

American blogger Richard Silverstein claimed on his blog 'Tikun Olam' that Israel is responsible for the blast on at a Hezbollah weapons cache in southern Lebanon.


He claims that "an authoritative Israeli source with considerable military experience" told him that the IDF used a "Trojan Horse" style trap. A few weeks ago it was reported that an Israeli drone disappeared over Lebanon. Silverstein now claims Israel "out foxed Hezbollah" as the Hezbollah brought the downed drone to the arms cache. Once inside the arms cache it was detonated causing a massive explosion. (Ynet)

Not Muslim but yes pakistan..We have more Muslim then your entire Islamic country and where ever they go they are respected as Indian Muslim and not recognized as terrorist.

Guys, this is the reason.....Israel sees India as a little Nancy. !!

Israel want to get whipped by Hezbullah again.

we know it that you hate Pakistan and you showed your real face here and you showed your love with Muslims in Gujrat and Kashmir ....

Isrsel is like Justin Beiber and Indians are like teenage groupiees. We all know what Mr Beiber does to these young women.

This is another example of what I keep saying, but no one bothers to pay attention because it goes against the popular opinion. Why does Hezbollah, Iran, and Iraq before it constantly antagonize the Israelis. More often than not, they do so to sway public opinion and divert attention from domestic issues. Even if we are to assume their cause is noble...why are you picking on the biggest kid on the playground. Even a 5 year old knows, you're not going to win that fight, no matter how morally right you may believe yourself to be.
The best way to avoid Israeli aggression is to stop making aggressive hyperbolic statements that speak of complete destruction of the Jewish state. What do we want from them, to just sit around and wait for it to happen? We keep wanting the world to be fair to us, Muslims, but we are such complete hypocrites, that we can't see we haven't been remotely fair to the rest of the world.

Rumors say this is an accident from Israel: a drone which they were loosing control then destroyed it?

Actually the rumor is that Hezbollah thought a drone went down because of their brilliance in jamming them while Israel did it on purpose so that they would move it into their weapon`s cache and detonated the drone.

an Israeli said me the version of Silverstein is low trustable
he says me he said a lot of fake informations even if some are true and compared to Debka which announces a world war III every week

In continuation to my previous post in this thread

A news from Nov 11 2011

The Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah has reportedly found a way to electronically jam and disable Israeli unmanned reconnaissance drones.

The speculation was raised after a suspected Israeli reconnaissance plane disappeared from the radar screen of the French United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) battalion in south Lebanon, Lebanese newspaper The Daily Star said on Wednesday.

"Information has been circulating for over a year that Hezbollah has been exploring -- and may have discovered -- a means of jamming the data link between a drone and its ground control base or interfering with the guidance system of drones on pre-programmed flight missions in order to crash them," it added.

It also went on to state that there is no doubt that capabilities of the resistance movement in top-secret electronic warfare have greately advanced massively over the past decade.

However, no confirmation pointing to reports that Hezbollah has acquired the ability to destroy Israeli drones has been issued by the resistance force.

Israel has been using drones for reconnaissance missions over southern Lebanon since the 1982 invasion. In the 2006 war, Israel deployed missile-firing drones for the first time, many of which were responsible for targeting civilian vehicles fleeing south Lebanon and attacking two parked ambulances in Qana during a transfer of injured individuals.

Last month, Lebanon's Arabic-language newspaper Al Joumhouria reported that Israel is planning to launch its third war against Lebanon.

The report stated that Hezbollah is in a state of alert and fully prepared to counter any Israeli offensive.
