"Why are they killing us? What have we done?" screamed Khalil Shalhoub, who was helping pull out the dead until he saw his brother's body taken out on a stretcher. The dead included at least 34 children and 12 adult women, security officials said.

Israeli spokesman just on Fox, residents in Qana area had been warned for days to leave area, Hezbullah has launched dozens of rockets from this area, blame the Israelis all you want but it was Hezbullah operating immediately next to residential buildings occupied by people who knew the danger of staying were they were.
I just saw the Israeli footage on the Qana attack.
This is just the latest example of "courageous" jihadis shooting up the world from behind the skirts and shorts of women and children, and when someone shoots back they blame everyone else for the consequences.
I'm sick of this tactic and the bleeding heart response of the rest of the world.
Golda Meir was right when she said there would be no peace until Muslims loved their families more than they hated Jews. We're a long, long road from that, and for the present it's much better to kill the jihadis.
where
My fury is aimed at Hezbollah. This is exactly why they do their dirty work amid civilians.. So Israelis will garner loads of bad press if they defend themselves.
And to answer that guys question, "What have we done?"; You've allowed a terrorist organization to operate uninhibited within your midst. You're now feeling the result of that action.
I just saw that video as well.
absolutely...
"Why are they killing us? What have we done?"
Shut up and die, terrorist swine.

IDF: Qana building fell hours after strike
An IDF investigation has found that the building in Qana struck by the Air Force fell around eight hours after being hit by the IDF.
"The attack on the structure in the Qana village took place between midnight and one in the morning. The gap between the timing of the collapse of the building and the time of the strike on it is unclear," Brigadier General Amir Eshel, Head of the Air Force Headquarters told journalists at the Defense Ministry in Tel Aviv, following the incidents at Qana.
Eshel and the head of the IDF's Operational Branch, Major General Gadi Eisnkot said the structure was not being attacked when it collapsed, at around 8:00 in the morning.
The IDF believes that Hizbullah explosives in the building were behind the explosion that caused the collapse.
Another possibility is that the rickety building remained standing for a few hours, but eventually collapsed. "It could be that inside the building, things that could eventually cause an explosion were being housed, things that we could not blow up in the attack, and maybe remained there, Brigadier General Eshel said.
"I'm saying this very carefully, because at this time I don't have a clue as to what the explanation could be for this gap," he added.
Meanwhile in Lebanon it is being reported that the number of those killed in the collapse of the structure climbed to 60.
All targets struck accurately
Eshel said that an additional attack took place at 7:30 in the morning, but added that other buildings were targeted. "This was an attack on three buildings 460 meters away from the structure we are talking about. Four bombs were dropped and all of them are documented by the planes' cameras. They all struck their targets. In addition, we carried out a filming sortie that photographed the village during the afternoon showing that the three targeted buildings we struck. We have verification of strikes on the building and that the bombs reached their targets," Eshel said.
"An attack that took place at two in the morning struck two targets, both of them 400 meters away from the building (that collapsed). They were also destroyed. The attack between 12 and 1 a.m. struck the area of the affected house, and there were accurate strikes on the target. We are asking the question – what happened between 1 in the morning and 8 in the morning… we understand this building was attacked between 12 and 1 in the morning, seven hours before it was seriously damaged," he said.
Brigadier General Eshel explained that "since the start of fighting in Lebanon 150 rockets from a very high number of rocket launchers have been fired from the village and its surrounding areas, at a number of sites in the State of Israel. Within the village itself we have located a diverse range of activities connected to firing of rockets, beginning from forces commanding this operation – because such an operation needs ongoing command to direct it – and logistical sites that serve this end."
"From this village rockets are fired almost every day across Israel. The operation carried out overnight is an extension of operations that didn't start last night but before, and during this night we struck a number of targets in the village. All of the targets are being meticulously sifted," Eshel added.

IDF: 150 rockets fired from Qana at Israeli cities
What should spark fury is that Hezbollah is using civilians as living sandbags to fortify their fire bases.
Israel has been providing corridors for folks to do just that , evacuate and also to allow aid and ambulances and such access. something that doesn't get reported much , if at all.
Love how utterly gulliable our oh so wise, all knowing Junk media is proving to be. Here are the people who posture as the smartest toughest most all knowing people so superior to us "hicks" in fly over country falling lock stock and barrel for crude propaganda put together by a bunch of third world "hicks". Guess the butt clowns in the media are not nearly as smart as they think they are.
I won't mention the guy's name, but there was a TV 'personality' whose sign-off is good advice for Isreal here....
Courage.
Perhaps because you support Hizbullah? Khalil Shalhoub apprently doesn't understand that his people are responsible for the actions of the organizations they support.
At this point, I just can't muster up a whole lot of sympathy for the Shiites in South Lebanon. Hizbullah is their political party. Hizbullah is the organization they support. As long as the Shiite population in Lebanon support a terrorist organization such as Hizbullah, they are going to risk being killed in conflict.
