Qana once again

I'm too upset to write about this, I'm just gonna quote the news.

First of all lets remember that the very same village of Qana has witnessed such a massacre ( video ) in 1996 when the Israeli army targeted a UN compound killing more than 100 civilians.

Back to the present, July 30, 2006:
The news :

More than 40 people, including 20 children, have been killed in an Israeli air strike on the southern Lebanese town of Qana. Displaced families had been sheltering in the basement of a site which was crushed after a direct hit. ( BBC )

The excuse: Arabs are dumb, they've been warned and they were supposed to leave!

He [ Capt. Jacob Dallal, an Israeli army spokesman ] said the army dropped leaflets several days ago telling civilians to leave Qana.
Lebanese Defense Minister Elias Murr disputed allegations that Hezbollah was firing missiles from Qana.
"What do you expect Israel to say? Will it say that it killed 40 children and women?" he told Qatar-based al-Jazeera TV station. ( Fox News )

They warned them, huh? Now who should we blame?

In response to reports about the strike on Qana, a spokeswoman for Israel's military said the target was a site used to launch rockets into Israel and blamed the deaths on Hezbollah. ( Washington Post )

In Syria there's a very common expression that says: "They made up a lie and they believed it!".
And to get the picture, here's what we, guys in the Mideast, woke up to watch:

Video broadcast by Arab TV showed the limp and bloodied bodies of woman and children who appeared to be wearing night clothes. Many of Video broadcast by Arab TV showed the limp and bloodied bodies of woman and children who appeared to be wearing night clothes. Many of these bodies were under rubble in the basement of the building. these bodies were under rubble in the basement of the building. ( CNN)

And as I'm writing this I'm watching the lebanese civil workers - live on Al-Arabyia - still trying to get some bodies out of the collapsed building. (it's 3:30 PM Damascus time).

N.B: I'm not gonna post the pictures here. I can't look at them anymore, but it's all around the web.
