The IDF on Monday morning published a recording of a conversation between a Unit 504 intelligence officer and a Lebanese civilian living in the Dahieh neighborhood—Hezbollah’s stronghold in Beirut.

The conversation took place as part of the activity of Unit 504, one of the IDF’s military intelligence units, which issues evacuation warnings to Lebanese civilians in areas slated for strikes against Hezbollah.

The recording reveals the resident speaking out against Hezbollah, saying that the terror group is expelling residents from their homes and threatening them.

“Get rid of them for us already,” he says. “I’m with you. They expelled us from our homes. We’re with the Lebanese state, the Prime Minister— not with anyone else. We want to stay in our homes with our children. We want to be finished with this and live in freedom.”

“This recording is further proof that Hezbollah uses the residents of Lebanon as human shields and is losing legitimacy even among its own public,” the IDF spokesperson stated.
