We present the polarization images in the $J$, $H$, & $Ks$ bands of the OrionMolecular Cloud 1 South region. The polarization images clearly show at leastsix infrared reflection nebulae (IRNe) which are barely seen or invisible inthe intensity images. Our polarization vector images also identify theilluminating sources of the nebulae: IRN 1 & 2, IRN 3, 4, & 5, and IRN 6 areilluminated by three IR sources, Source 144-351, Source 145-356, and Source136-355, respectively. Moreover, our polarization images suggest the candidatedriving sources of the optical Herbig-Haro objects for the first time; HH529, apair of HH202 and HH528 or HH 203/204, HH 530 and HH269 are originated fromSource 144-351, Source 145-356, and Source 136-355, respectively
