[laststeamtrain]

An Israeli jet fired a missile into a house in south Lebanon early Tuesday, killing seven people, hospital and security officials said.

At least one other person, a woman, was wounded in the attack in the market town of Nabatiyeh, officials said.

It was not immediately clear why Israel targeted the house, which belonged to a man named Mohammed Ghandour. He, his wife and his son were among the seven killed, security officials said.

They said a man named Saad Hamza, his wife, an unidentified man and two children were also killed.

3. Last week anybody who questioned Israeli bombing of ambulances

or anything else for that matter was throughly lambasted and shit on around here. After a week of non stop reports like this, those responses are somewhat subdued.

6. You mean stories like this latest (The Guardian, Tyre, Tues 25th):

Red Cross ambulances destroyed in Israeli air strike on rescue mission

· Volunteer paramedics demand UN guarantees
· Flags and lights prove no protection for aid teams

The ambulance headlamps were on, the blue light overhead was flashing, and another light illuminated the Red Cross flag when the first Israeli missile hit, shearing off the right leg of the man on the stretcher inside. As he lay screaming beneath fire and smoke, patients and ambulance workers scrambled for safety, crawling over glass in the dark. Then another missile hit the second ambulance.

Even in a war which has turned the roads of south Lebanon into killing zones, Israel's rocket strike on two clearly marked Red Cross ambulances on Sunday night set a deadly new milestone.

Six ambulance workers were wounded and three generations of the Fawaz family, being transported to hospital from Tibnin with what were originally minor injuries, were left fighting for their lives. Two ambulances were entirely destroyed, their roofs pierced by missiles.

The Lebanese Red Cross, whose ambulance service for south Lebanon is run entirely by volunteers, immediately announced it would cease all rescue missions unless Israel guaranteed their safety through the United Nations or the International Red Cross.

For the villages below the Litani river, the ambulances were their last link to the outside world. Yesterday, that too was gone, leaving the 100,000 people of Tyre district with no way of reaching hospital other than to take to the roads themselves, under the roar of Israeli war planes.

10. ISrael has claimed for years that terrorists were using ambulances as

cover. That has been disputed, but that will be part of the justification they use.

7. yep, I've noticed that, too

having been on the receiving end of that shit for having the gaul to claim Israel's retaliation for the kidnapping of two, count'em: TWO, Israeli soldiers was over the top.

Is it still wrong to claim that, now that they're still bombing civilians and ambulances? :eyes:

9. I've noticed that, too

I'm glad to see that at least some of the "Israel has a right to defend herself no matter what blah blah blah crowd" have been chastised by the gratuitous carnage.

They are just catching their "second wind"
