So can anyone explain the story of this Green Helmet dude? This is the first I've heard of him.

"So can anyone explain the story of this Green Helmet dude?"

Green Helmet Dude seems to show up on lots of photos, particularly those that require corpses for effect. There are numerous photos of him at Qana proudly displaying apperently long-dead children. He also shows up north of Beruit and was apparently photographed in the incident in 1996 in Qana where civilians were said to be killed by Israelis.

Many of the photos were by Hajj Adnan who was fired 3 days ago for fraud by Reuters for doctoring photos to exaggerate damage, ( which didn't stop the New York Times from using his picture on page 1 yesterday).

Little Green Footballs blog has the details.
