Original Note:
This trebuchet is being used to set fire to the underbrush near the Israel/Lebanon border. Due to thick brush in this area, Hezbollah is able to use said brush as cover to launch attacks at Israel, which they have done daily since Oct 8th, 2023, this is a countermeasure. https://breakingdefense.com/2024/06/why-a-unit-in-israels-idf-purportedly-used-a-medieval-trebuchet-against-hezbollah/?amp=1 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel–Hezbollah_conflict_(2023–present) https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2024/6/13/hezbollah-launches-rockets-drones-at-northern-israel-military-sites
