Hizbullah arsenal explodes in Lebanon

A series of explosions Sunday destroyed a two-story ammunition dump in south Lebanon that belonged to Hizbullah, according to Lebanese security officials.

They said the explosions were set off by a short circuit caused by lightning during a strong storm shortly before dawn Sunday.

There were no reports of casualties. The ammunition dump was located in the basement of a building between the villages of Majadel and Shehabiyeh, some 20 km. from the border with Israel.

The Lebanese Broadcasting Corp. said the dump contained mortar shells and rocket-propelled grenades.

Was it the IDF's "Jewish lightning" or should we ululate and yell "Jehovah Akbar?"
You make the call!
(Didn't the Syrians Lebanese insist that there were no Hezbollah in their borders? Oops.)
