Amos Harel of Haaretz writes: "During searches after the war, 33 such areas - which the Israel Defense Forces euphemistically terms "nature reserves" - were located. These included bunkers and underground tunnels, some of which are sufficiently complex to include sub-systems,… Most of the rockets fired against Israel during the war last year were launched from the "nature reserves." http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/hezbollah-hides-rockets-from-un-in-s-lebanon-villages-1.226010
Human Rights Watch writes: "we found strong evidence that Hezbollah stored most of its rockets in bunkers and weapon storage facilities located in uninhabited fields and valleys,… and that Hezbollah fired the vast majority of its rockets from pre-prepared positions outside villages." http://www.hrw.org/en/node/10734/section/5
Are you seriously suggesting that these two sources are describing two different systems of rocket-launching bunker systems in south Lebanon? I would say that this is rather far-fetched. The term "nature reserve" was only an IDF slang term and there are no reasons to expect HRW to use it.
If you insist, please provide a source backing up your claim.
