Just how do the Israelis "mistakenly" bomb Lebanon?

[madmunchie]

I was just wondering how, after issuing a 48 hour "cease fire", the Israeli's could accidental bomb Lebanon? How is this possible? How is it possible to accidentally bomb a vehicle with soldiers in it????

Not more than 24 hours into a 48 hour cease fire, they make a mistake??????

Not more than 48 hours into a 48 hour cease fire, they decide to use ground troops?????


Some clarification is needed here, thanks in advance.

Israel rejected mounting international pressure on Monday to end its war against Hizbollah and launched a new incursion into Lebanon, as world powers squabbled over the urgency of a ceasefire.

U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said at the end of a trip to Israel that a ceasefire could be achieved this week. But despite an international outcry over an air strike on Sunday that killed 54 civilians, most of them children, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said there would be no ceasefire for now. "The fighting continues. There is no ceasefire and there will not be any ceasefire in the coming days," Olmert told a gathering of northern Israeli mayors, to sustained applause...

Civilians fled battered villages in southern Lebanon after Israel said it had agreed partially to halt air strikes for 48 hours, and aid convoys headed into the area to deliver supplies. The Israeli military said it had launched a new ground incursion into Lebanon in the Aita al-Shaab area. Hizbollah said its guerrillas were fiercely resisting the advance.

Besides its announcement of a partial 48-hour suspension of bombing, Israel said it was giving a 24-hour window to allow aid workers to reach the worst hit areas and residents to flee. But Israeli jets bombed targets in southern Lebanon, and the United Nations said access had not improved. "Let's be clear about this ... We don't have a cessation of hostilities and we don't have a cessation of aerial bombardments," U.N. spokesman Khaled Mansour said....(bit more@link)

4. isn't it interesting how...

...the wire services (AP did it also) "spread the blame" be characterizing the issue of a cease-fire in terms of "as world powers squabbled"....which is total bullshit: the world is pretty much agreed that Israel must end its unilateral war against Lebanon...it's only the US, through its asshole UN "diplomat" John "Bonkers" Bolton, that vetoes and otherwise thwarts the expressed concensus and will of the planet's other nations. Thanks, Reuters, for muddying the waters on Junior's behalf.
