Israel is accusing the Islamic guerrilla group Hezbollah of endangering stability in Lebanon after a mysterious explosion.

Israel says Hezbollah is violating the ceasefire in Lebanon by stockpiling weapons south of the Litani River. The accusation¹ follows an explosion in the house of a Hezbollah member near the city of Tyre in South Lebanon. 

There are conflicting reports about the blast and casualties, but Israel says it was caused by Hezbollah ammunition² that is forbidden in that area under the ceasefire that ended the Lebanon War in 2006.

Israeli President Shimon Peres said Hezbollah is turning Lebanon into a barrel of explosives. He said it is not Israel that is endangering Lebanon but Hezbollah.

Peres accused Hezbollah of preventing a peace agreement with Israel that could turn Lebanon irael launched a 34-day assault on Lebanon in 2006 after Hezbollah captured two Israeli soldiers and killed three others in a cross-border raid. Hezbollah fired more than 4,000 rockets at Israel during the war.

After the explosion, the Israeli army lodged³ a complaint with UNIFIL, the United Nations peacekeeping force in South Lebanon. Israeli analyst⁴ Mordechai Kedar says the explosion shows the 13,000 U.N. troops deployed⁵ after the war are ineffective.

"It only is a sign that the southern part of Lebanon is full with storages, which Hezbollah brought after the war of 2006 in order to renew their missile arsenal⁶ vis-à-vis Israel," Kedar said.

Israel says Hezbollah now has more than 40,000 rockets in South Lebanon, and many here believe that the next war is just a matter of time.
