Lebanese militant group Hezbollah has built a multi-million pound theme park designed to indoctrinate its children about the glory of martyrdom against its enemy Israel.

The mostly-outdoor museum features barbed wire, tanks, rockets, archive video footage and a lot of guns.

Visitors are able to walk around replica war scenes that feature destroyed Israeli tanks – including one symbolically rendered impotent by a twisted firing barrel – and grave stones lying on their side.

The theme park was constructed atop one of their strongholds in the town of Mleeta.

It was designed to attract a wide range of visitors, including children and western tourists.
