Israel Literally Showed Map Of Hezbollah Targets On TV Years Before Blowing Up Military Sites

Israel publicly announced on national television that it had a map of specific Hezbollah military targets years before it launched major strikes against the terrorist group.

Though the two have been in conflict since last year, Hezbollah has taken some of its most major blows in recent weeks from Israel, which has conducted several airstrikes against the group’s targets throughout Lebanon. Benny Gantz, at the time the Israeli Defense Minister, publicly showed a classified map of Hezbollah targets in Lebanon to Fox News during an interview in 2021.

“Let me show you something, which I think is very important,” Gantz told Fox News’ Trey Yingst before handing him a map in the 2021 interview. “This is a map of Lebanon. What you see there is ground forces, missiles, headquarters, launching sites, et cetera. Everything is aimed civilian targets, and it is being conducted from civilian infrastructure.”

“This is a target list for you?” Yingst asked Gantz after examining the map, which was blurred out by Fox News.

“This is a target map. Each one of them has been checked legally, operationally, and intelligence wise and we are ready to fight,” Gantz responded.

Israeli forces have conducted sweeping airstrikes against Hezbollah military targets in recent days, including against weapons storage sites and launch sites that were pointed toward Israel, according to Reuters. A senior Hezbollah commander was killed in an airstrike in Beirut on Tuesday, adding to the growing list of high-level Hezbollah operatives who have met similar fates at the hands of Israeli forces in recent months.
