The following declassified intelligence maps as well as the 3D animated clip
illustrate how Hezbollah, in the four years since the Second Lebanon War,
has turned over 100 villages in South Lebanon into military bases. These
maps and the 3D clip illustrate how Hezbollah stores their weapons near
schools, hospitals, and residential buildings in the village of al-Khiam.
They follow similar tactics in villages across southern Lebanon, essentially
using the residents as human shields, in gross violation of UN Resolution
1701. al-Khiam was used as a rocket launching site during the Second Lebanon
war.

During the Second Lebanon war, Hezbollah stored their weapons in open areas
for the most part, which enabled the IDF to locate and destroy their stores.
In the four years since then, Hezbollah has pursued a tactic of moving their
weapons into civilian villages, essentially institutionalizing the tactic of
using human shields on a large scale.

In an incident on 12 October 2009, there was an explosion at a Hezbollah
weapons storehouse in the village of Tayr Filsay. Aerial footage, taken
shortly after the explosion, shows Hezbollah operatives closing down the
area around the warehouse, driving in two trucks and removing weaponry from
the site. They then took the weapons to a known weapons storage facility in
the center of the village of Dir a-Nahar about four kilometers away. Only
after Hezbollah removed the weaponry did they allow UNIFIL and the Lebanese
Army to enter the site of the explosion
