(Times of Israel) Judah Ari Gross - The Israel Defense Forces on Friday countered a Hizbullah claim that a Beirut factory identified by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a missile production site was a civilian workshop, identifying the machinery in the facility as needed for the production of precision-guided munitions. In a video from a Hizbullah-led tour of the site, machines are shown that can be used to make engine casings, warheads, navigation parts, stabilizing fins, and engine parts. The IDF named the manager of the site as Hizbullah member Muhammad Kamil Fuad Rimal, 32. "He was active in the unit manufacturing precision-guided missiles in cooperation with Iranian forces. As part of his role, he visited Iran a number of times," the IDF said.
