DESCRIPTION

During the four years since the Second Lebanon War in the summer of 2006, Hezbollah has been rearming itself in direct violation of UN Resolution 1701. As the aerial photographs show, Hezbollah has established their weapons storage facilities, and built its command headquarters inside villages in southern Lebanon, near residential buildings such as hospitals and schools. These maps, and the 3d animated video [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBaHS5dyfX0] are of the southern Lebanese town of al-Khiam. During the Second Lebanon war, al-Khiam was used to launch rockets into Israel. However, it is important to note that al-Khiam is just one of over 100 southern Lebanese villages which have been effectively turned into military bases by Hezbollah. By using villages as the base for their operations and as weapons storage sites, Hezbollah has institutionalized their practice of using Lebanese civilians as human shields.
