The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced that a majority of the rockets and drones fired by Hezbollah at Israel come from civilian areas in Lebanon, reports The Jerusalem Post:

The IDF announced on Monday night that 90% of the rockets and drones that Hezbollah launched against Israel on Sunday were fired from civilian areas in Lebanon.

In addition, the military provided an infographic displaying the proximity of the aerial threats launched by Hezbollah to mosques, schools, UN facilities, and other such civilian locations.

According to the IDF, much like Hamas, Hezbollah is systematically abusing the laws of war by using both human shields and civilian locations to perpetrate its terror attacks against Israeli civilians.
