A circulating footage online shows the moment an Israeli military used medieval weapon to launch attacks on Lebanon.
Military tensions between Israel and Lebanon have increased recently with the Hezbollah launching over 200 rockets to southern Israel in a day.
In the video, the Israeli troops were seen using a trebuchet to throw projectiles into a large thicket area along the Lebanon border.
The Israeli forces confirmed the usage of the medieval weapons on Thursday saying the weapons will be used on the Lebanon border surrounded by boulders, thickets, and dense thorn vegetation.
The Israeli forces described the vegetation as a challenge to the IDF deployed in defense which necessitated the use of the old weapons.
