In a statement, the IDF accused the Iranian Shiite proxy of deliberately utilizing civilian structures for what are effectively military purposes. It added that Hezbollah intended to use the material in the weapons depot against both Israeli soldiers and citizens.
Our intelligence can reveal that Hezbollah has built a weapons warehouse just 25 meters from a school in the village of Ebba, Lebanon.
This endangers the lives of 300 children who attend the school.

On Twitter Wednesday, the IDF shared an aerial image of the alleged warehouse that shows the school where 300 students study just across the street.
In its statement, the IDF said the depot was one of thousands of similar targets positioned to endanger the lives of innocent Lebanese citizens. The IDF said it would do everything in its ability to avoid unnecessary casualties but would not hesitate to take out active targets.
