Israel's Netanyahu details 'Hezbollah's missile factory' during UN speech

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on the people of Lebanon to "act now" to avoid another deadly explosion.

Speaking in a pre-recorded message to the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, Netanyahu pointed to a map showing what he claimed was a Hezbollah explosives depot, located near a gas company.

"You've got to protest this. Because if this thing explodes, it's another tragedy," he said referring to the August 4 explosion at Beirut port which killed nearly 200 people. Authorities blamed the blast on a huge stockpile of ammonium nitrate stored for years at the port without safety measures.

Netanyahu added, "Iran and Hezbollah have deliberately put you and your families in grave danger. And what you should make clear is what they have done is unacceptable. You should tell them, 'tear these depots down'."
