A French language Lebanese publication, citing an unnamed source in Hezbollah, has claimed that the organization placed a rocket launcher on the roof of the notorious building in Qana to provoke an Israeli attack and brought invalid children inside to serve as victims and blacken Israel's name.
The Lebanese magazine LIBANOSCOPIE, associated with Christian elements which support the anti-Syrian movement called the "March 14 Forces," report that Hizbullah masterminded a plan that would result in the killing of innocents in Qana, in an attempt to foil Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora's "Seven Points Plan" calling for deployment of the Lebanese army in southern Lebanon and the disarming of Hizbullah. The magazine reported:
"We have it from a credible source that Hezbollah, alarmed by Siniora's plan, has concocted an incident that would help thwart the negotiations.... Hezbollah gunmen placed a rocket launcher on the roof in Qana and brought disabled children inside, in a bid to provoke a response by the Israeli Air Force. In this way, they were planning to take advantage of the death of innocents and curtail the diplomatic initiative," the site stated.
The site's editors claimed that Hezbollah staged the event because of Qana's symbolic significance: "They used Qana because the village had already turned into a symbol for massacring innocent civilians, and so they set up 'Qana 2'." The incident has indeed been dubbed "The second Qana massacre" by the Arab media.
The scenario described, which has yet to be confirmed by a named source, would explain the fact that the victims were not residents of the building and also the disproportionate number of small children and the lack of adult males among them.
Meanwhile, the Lebanese Red Cross reported on Monday that only 28 bodies, 19 of them children, were removed from the rubble. The count is half that of the 50-60 bodies still being reported by news agencies, quoting Lebanese security officials.

I don't disagree with you at all on the premise. But recall even members of the Arab world were 'concerned' over Hezbollah's aggressive actions up until this incident. Hezbollah needed/needs to bring the rest of the arab world on board. This incident will garner the arab street, it will garner the liberal street.
It won't matter what the truth is, for the truth will be called conspiracy and lies. Israel and America killed those children. The truth is but another zionist lie in the eyes of arabs.
Window dressing, posturing, nothing more. They are not to be believed.

They worship SATAN.
This staged event, this news "story", emphasizes again the power of propaganda in the current age.
Disinformation like Qana 2 has to be combatted, just like any other attack by the enemy.
In the current atmosphere, the studios and offices of organizations like Al-Jazeera are as legitimate of a military target as an Hezbo artillery battery and we need to wake up to that fact as a nation to achieve victoy.
Isn't that nice?
The sad truth is...they're fooling no one.....not even the MSM. But the MSM continues to report and pretend.....that says it all IMHO...
For later reference.
And still the populace supports them. Amazing.
"They worship SATAN."
Mohammad is the false prophet of Revelation. The father of lies, Satan, whispers in the soul of his follows.
But I do have to ask...how does this differ from abortion...the only handicap those children have is being unwanted?
The spirit of this world is truly global. It is truly evil. It is why even our feeble attempts to negotiate with the abortionists is futile. They will kill anything and everything innocent in the way of their stated goals...be it Israel for the Arabs or Unborn, innocent babies for the rest of the world.
This spirit is one and the same!
To us, disabled children are to be cared for. To them, any child who will not grow up to be a fighter or breeder of fighters is worthless
Lebanese love Hezbollah for their "goodwill" efforts over the years, e.g.; schools, hospitals. This barbarism will go a long way toward undoing all of that.
It has worked before
No shock here...been saying this for days.
