Massacre In Israel - Lebanon Hezbollah Rockets Murder 14

Tel Aviv----August 6......Hezbollah terror Katusha rockets continued to rain down on Israel civilians, murdering 14 this afternoon in Kfar Giladi.
"It was a direct hit on a crowd of people," Dan Ronen, the chief of the Israel northern police command, told Israel Army Radio. Convoys of police and rescue vehicles raced to the scene of the massacre. "This was the most difficult thing I could have imagined in my career. There are nine bodies here covered in blankets, around us cars are going up in flames," Army Radio reporter reported as she choked back tears. "On one side is the cemetery, on the other side are the nine young bodies waiting for burial."
Israel's equivalent to the Red Cross - Magan David Adom stated that many others were seriously wounded as the rocket from Lebanon slammed into a meeting area between Kfar Giladi and Tel-Hai in the upper Galilee on the Israel Lebanon border.
Witnesses near Kiryat Shomena, which has been hardest hit in recent days, said that Katusha attack from Lebanon was going on more than 15 minutes after it had begun. Witnesses stated that this had hampered emergency services from reaching the scene.
One Israel emergency rescue service reported at least two rockets directly hit homes. Katusha rockets also landed in Nahariya and Karmiel, Rosh Pina and Safed.
On Sunday morning, At least seven rockets were fired at northern Israel on Sunday morning, causing no injuries or damage. Two rockets struck the Golan Heights, three landed near the village of Ma'alot, and two fell in an open area in the city of Safed.
This latest barrage of rockets follows a weekend in which three people were killed when a rocket scored a direct hit at their home in a western Galilee Arab-Israeli town. The three were a 60-year-old woman and her two daughters, both in their 30s. They were all in the same room at the time of the strike. They were later identified as Fadya Juma, 60, and her daughters Samira, 33, and Sultana, 31. Some 170 rockets landed in Israel throughout Saturday, with 120-130 of those falling in one hour in the late afternoon.
Over 100 Israelis have been murdered, including 44 members of the military and 30 civilians, according to authorities. Among the latest deaths are three Israel Arabs killed by Hezbollah's rockets in the villages of Mughar, Majdel Krum and Dir el-Assad. Three Israeli soldiers were killed in fighting with Hezbollah.
The US based monitoring group Human Rights Watch (HRW) Humanitarian organization has called on Hezbollah to immediately stop launching rockets into civilian areas within Israel, saying their actions constitute "war crimes." The rights watchdog said Hezbollah's assertions that it is targeting military bases within Israel are offset by the fact that most attacks have been aimed at schools, hospitals and businesses.
Kenneth Roth, executive director of Human Rights Watch, said: "Lobbing rockets from Lebanon blindly into Israel civilian areas is without doubt a war crime. Nothing can justify this assault on the most fundamental standards for sparing civilians the hazards of war."
Ma'ayan Levy, a witness to the Katusha rocket attacks on Israel civilians by Lebanon Hezbollah at Kibbutz Kfar Giladi stated: "We did not start this war, Israel is defending herself from unprovoked Islamic terror cross-border attacks." Levy added: "When Israel hears of civilians dying in Lebanon our hearts are saddened, when children die, we as mothers and as Israelis cry, but when Hezbollah murders our civilians and children Hezbollah, Syria and Iran celebrate. How does one fight an enemy as barbaric as this?"

Israel still far ahead. 1000+ lebanese vs 50+ israelites. Kill ration 1:20. What do you want? 1:100?
So let me get this straight: When Israel accidently kills 28 civilians, it is a great tragedy and a massacre. But when Hezbollah kills 14 civilians, it is a lucky strike and an energizing victory. And this is from Fox!
Bibi (former Prime Minister Netanyahu) embarrases and destroys Sky News:

Literally flatten every town in South Lebanon and it will eliminate the areas the terrorist can run to after they fire their rockets.
tit for tat...
Ynet now reporting the death toll at 11
You'd have to be remarkably disingenuous to think that Hezb knew on whom the missile would fall when they launched it... either that or you'd have to agree with their propaganda that every man woman and child in Israel is a valid target.
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
And no fake photos.
So where's the al-Reuters photographer trying to get just the right shot of the dead civilians?
Maybe they could just photoshop some stock photos.
Oh He will. Remember the OT prophets with the fire and brimstone prophecies? In His timing, God will show the world what shock and awe really is.
I can hardly wait for the retaliation, I hope someone gets some video... REAL video not that faked Rueters stuff

You kill them all to make the world a better place.
No more apologies. No more explanations.
Olmert should announce that the next missile to hit an Israeli city will be responded to with carpet bombing. In effect, Hezbollah it is your choice who and how many die.
