Watch: South Lebanese Druze Attack Hezbollah Terrorists For Firing Rockets At Israel

JERUSALEM (VINnews) — In a display of opposition to Hezbollah efforts to ignite a conflict between Israel and Lebanon by firing rockets at Israel, local Druze residents attacked the terrorists who fired the rockets from their village.

According to reports by local news outlets, Druze residents in a southern Lebanese village halted a Hezbollah convoy carrying rocket launchers that were apparently used to attack Israel on Friday, according to media reports.

The group stopped a truck-mounted multiple launch rocket system as it drove through the village of Chouya in southern Lebanon. The angry group of villagers accused the terror group members of endangering civilian lives by launching projectiles close to residential areas.

The Lebanese Army later arrived to confiscate the rocket launcher seen in the video and said it arrested four suspects involved in the rocket fire. It was unclear if any Hezbollah members were detained, but footage showed a man in one of the vehicles surrounded by the crowd.

Reports suggested the rocket launchers mounted to the vehicle stopped by residents in Chouya were used in the earlier attack, as some of the barrels appeared to be empty.

The terrorist who appears in the video had been sighted in civilian clothes near Israel’s northern border in the past, like other Hezbollah members who violate UN resolutions and perform surveillance activities next to the Israeli border.
