Israel Blames Hezbollah for Its "Precision Guided" Attack on Disabled Children (UPDATE)

So Israel has hit two United Nations peacekeeping outposts even after receiving warnings, ambulances, automobiles on highways with civilian families, television stations and today a four story building where 60 people died, including 19 children. Yet Israel continues to claim it is making "pinpoint" attacks with "precision guided" weaponry targeting only Hezbollah, not civilians or the United Nations officials. Their excuse today is that the building was near a Hezbollah rocket-launching site. Was Hezbollah also launching missiles from the UN sites? What about the moving vehicles on the highways? Since Israel itself has compulsory military service as well as military installations and soldiers all over their country, could they not be blamed for hiding among civilians as well?

From CNN: "The IDF said that residents of Qana had been warned to leave by radio announcements and by air-leaflets because it was a combat area ... Red Cross worker Sami Yazbak, who was helping to pull bodies from the building, said many of the children who were sleeping inside were handicapped."

Why the hell didn't those handicapped children get in their SUV's and leave days ago?

UPDATE 8-1-2006: No Hezbollah Rockets Fired from Qana
