We present the polarization images in the J, H, and K_s bands of the Orion Molecular Cloud 1 South region. The polarization images clearly show at least six infrared reflection nebulae (IRNe) which are barely seen or invisible in the intensity images. Our polarization vector images also identify the illuminating sources of the nebulae; IRN 1 and 2, IRN 3, 4, and 5, and IRN 6 are illuminated by three IR sources, Source 144–351, Source 145–356, and Source 136–355, respectively. Moreover, our polarization images suggest the candidate driving sources of the optical Herbig-Haro objects for the first time; HH 529, a pair of HH 202 and HH 528 or HH 203/204, and HH 530 and HH 269 are originated from Source 144–351, Source 145–356, and Source 136–355, respectively.
