Because the claim is in full accord with Hezbollah past practice, and because a lie would be trivially easy to expose -- all the Lebanese and/or UN authorities would need to do is invite the international media for a tour of the purported arms depot and the adjoining school.

Non Hasbara context.

Palestinian Programme.

Currently, the number of Palestine refugees in Lebanon is approximately 192,000 (174,422 Palestine refugees in Lebanon and 17,706 Palestine refugees from Syria).Palestinian refugees in Lebanon (PRL) and Palestinian refugees from Syria (PRS) living in the country's numerous Palestinian neighbourhoods and 12 Palestinian camps face social exclusion, are regarded as foreigners, and are effectively excluded from enjoying most civil and socio-economic rights.

As you can see, things are complicated, therefore we ought to support the IDF uncritically.

They to be based on things like false dilemmas and strawman arguments. But that's not a hornet's nest I'm interested in getting into with you.

Sorry about poking you like that, I should have known better.

Case in point, another strawman. You're nothing if not consistent :)
