This civilian footage records an Israeli airstrike on a Hezbollah weapons depot. The strike occurred on 19 February, 2024, as part of a series of strikes against Hezbollah targets which were positively identified before being acted upon. Known targets include the building seen here, as well as a rocket launch site.

The passenger’s car is close enough to the initial strike that debris audibly lands on the vehicle before a secondary explosion cooks off at 0:12. Civilian footage of another strike occurring as part of the same operation can be seen here.
