Lebanese Dirt Bikers Get Front Row Seat for Israeli Airstrike, Sidon
Published 9 months ago
This footage, provided by civilians in Lebanon, records an on-the-ground view of IDF attacks on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon- something far more commonly recorded from the IDF perspective in the air.
IDF reports state that the buildings in question were being monitored by Israeli intelligence, and a known Hezbollah operative entered one of said buildings, which greenlit the Israeli Air Force to attack. The airstrike occurred on 19 February, 2024, along with other strikes which included a Hezbollah rocket launch site.
Aside from the deaths that are practically guaranteed as a result of the airstrikes (while in no way discounting or seeking to diminish them), the video from these riders’ perspective is both a testament to the beauty of the region and the awesome power of air superiority.
Civilian footage of another air strike in Lebanon as part of the same operation can be found here.
