IDF For Some Reason Slings Trebuchet Ammo at Lebanon
Published 5 months ago
Footage circulating across social media today shows members of what is supposed to be the Israeli Defense Force slinging flaming ammunition towards Lebanon. The context of this footage is pretty sparse, and it appears to have been released through unofficial Israeli channels, so I honestly have absolutely no clue what's going on here. I can't think of a single good reason for the IDF to toss flaming ammunition towards Lebanon from a trebuchet. so my assumption here is that they were just trying to be funny.
The only logical explanation that I can think of outside of the IDF just trolling Hezbollah here is that they're slinging the flaming ammunition from behind safety to begin a controlled burn as to prevent future grass fires in the area caused by enemy munitions.
