IDF soldiers in southern Lebanon continue in widespread looting and pillaging. An IDF reservist admitted: "There was another mission [in Lebanon] -- an unofficial one: Taking out all the loot." The "spoils" would be unloaded at an outpost so they'd be waiting for the soldiers when they went home. The reservist said his unit operated in a wealthy Lebanese village, where soldiers would first fire at houses to ensure there were no Hezbollah fighters inside before ransacking the homes for valuables.
