WATCH: Lebanese civilians oust Hezbollah men in border village

Residents of a southern Lebanon village evicted a number of Hezbollah operatives who sought to establish positions and store arms in the town.

According to Israel Defense Forces surveillance footage which was released on Tuesday, the Lebanese villagers clashed with Hezbollah operatives. The confrontation, which took place earlier this week, escalated into shooting in the air, necessitating the intervention of the Lebanese army.

The incident took place in the village of Marwahin, which lies just two kilometers from the moshav of Zir'it.

The village is inhabited by a majority of Lebanese Sunnis who objected to Hezbollah's attempts to store weapons caches in residents' homes.

The footage, which is titled "Violent clashes in which Hezbollah operatives are assaulted by residents of the village of Marwahin," shows a large crowd of people interspersed with Lebanese army soldiers.

In the next clip, an unmarked vehicle is seen living the area with help from the Lebanese military. The video captures two Lebanese soldiers who prevent the crowd from approaching the departing sport utility vehicle.

In the following stanza, women and children leave the scene. The final portion of the clip shows the villagers expelling the Hezbollah operatives.
