BEIRUT, Lebanon - Israeli airstrikes flattened two southern Lebanese residences Friday and more than 50 people were buried in the rubble, security officials and the state news agency said.

The number of dead was not immediately known. One attack flattened a building in Aita al-Shaab, a mile inside Lebanon, Lebanon's National News Agency reported. A large number of civilians were inside at the time, but the exact number was unknown, it said

Green Helmet Guy is enroute?? This is SERIES HUGH NEWS...

[b4its2late]

Sounds like the human shield thing.....

[pabianice]

Correction: Israeli airstrikes trap 50 human shields held prisoner by Hezbollah savages.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

let me guess, hizbullah convinced civilians they'd be safe there, then mounted rocket launchers right next to both building and opened up..

these civilians ought to learn by now..large groups of people should stay OUT of the same building..it's automatially a target (after the launchers send off their rockets)..IMHO..

[tobyhill]

AP pictures to follow. Maybe this time they'll learned how to set the time/date stamp so the stage won't be so obvious?

[RoseofTexas]

AHHHHHHHH crAP strikes again!! This is getting reallllllll old and folk are tuning out!! Where are the crAP tears for those kill on the Israeli side?....chirp, chirp...waiting...

This is SERIES HUGH NEWS

Keep clam, it's not a full blown stuned beeber alert.

50 less parasites on the earth. They were probably all active Hezzie, or support structures therefore. The media should stop these reports. Far from making me weep, they make me ecstatic.

[blu]

johnny, WTH is that picture??

[GeorgiaDawg32]

keep clam?? ROFL...

[MarineDad]

"The number of dead was not immediately known..."

Now, do they mean really dead or "Pali" dead?

The latter are those who fall off their biers but jump right back on again. They can be counted multiple times in any such assessment...

[texan75010]

AMEN to that! The fewer vermin walking the earth the better. They are either active terrorists or sympathisers. That makes them all valid targets.

[GeronL]

I am sure that it was a Hez-Ebola barracks and they were all civilians

[debg]

That really does not belong here.

[tobyhill]

"The number of dead was not immediately known..."

Pick a number, the AP does.

[Westlander]

'50 people were buried in the rubble'
So what's the news? They just saved the hizzalabullies money on burial costs.

[Cagey]

"Here I come to save the day!!!"

[Political Junkie Too]

That was the picture from Qana in 1996, but Green Helmut Guy (10 years younger) was photoshopped to Looter Guy. In GHG's hands were a baby with its head blown off.

BTW, it was from the story last week analyzing the Qana pictures.

This worked so great the first time! Let's have an encore! The MSM are like Pavlov's dog: show them an atrocity photo (staged or not, they don't care) and they start slobbering all over themselves.

[wally_green]

The green helmet guys only goes for the dead "children". The people killed in this bombing are hezzies and deserve death.

[MikeA]

And after ignoring a month of warnings to get out of a war zone by Israel, even if not terrorists or terrorist supporters, they were so pathetically stupid that their "loss" has to be counted as a cleansing of the gene pool.

[TexasPatriot8]

Over 50 people in TWO houses? What was going on a couple tupperware parties or something? Sounds like Qana v2.0 to me.

[Gritty]

[kittymyrib]

The traveling mortician is going to wear out the tires on his refrigerated truck, carting those cadavers from one msm photo op to another. Maybe that's why the Israelis are bombing all the roads and bridges, to keep him from getting to these propaganda events.

[johnny7]

That's the 'Looter-Guy' from NOLA... helping out in Lebanon.

[tobyhill]

I'm sure the Hezbos can find a few children to smash in their heads and put under some concrete block before the cameras get there.

[Frank_Discussion]

"Green Helmet Guy is enroute??"

IDF snipers should be dispatched. Fork this guy.

[Frank_Discussion]

D*mn. I laughed at that. :(

[wally_green]

100% correct. What kind of family with children would be in the war zone after 2 weeks?

Frankly I don't care children of Hezziez die.

[Sabramerican]

Aita al-Shaab, a mile inside Lebanon

Israeli soldiers have engaged in hand to hand combat in this town, ONE MILE from the border, and it is mostly secured. Someone wants to tell me that three weeks into the war, there are fifty civilians sitting around in one of its buildings?

[Political Junkie Too]

The MSM are like Pavlov's dog: show them an atrocity photo (staged or not, they don't care) and they start slobbering all over themselves.

These would be the same MSM who told us that the embedded reporters in Iraq couldn't be trusted to give us accurate portrayals of what was happening because they didn't have the benefit of "context" that only the MSM elites would give us?

Correction #2: Israeli aristrikes trap 50 terrorist supporters, aiders and/or abettors.

[TexasPatriot8]

EXACTLY!!! Hizbollah and Hizbollah sympathizers are the same as far as I'm concerned. Plant them all.

[tobyhill]

By the end of the day it'll be 250 at a 2 year old's birthday party.

[Westlander]

6:30 PM National Evening News CBS/NBC/ABC----
'Israel war mongers bomb innocent marriage reception'

[MarineDad]

Complete with pictures, no doubt...

[beyond the sea]

50 people were buried in the rubble ----

........ two Pittsburgh Pirate baseball teams ........

[Frank_Discussion]

"Frankly I don't care children of Hezziez die."

It may be an unfortunate necessity that these kids sometimes die, but I do care. The children grow up to be evil adults, part of this war is to end that cycle.

Stop the Hezbians and their evil contemporaries, and we may end up saving many children.

[wally_green]

Do you think the total number of "victims" will be higher or lower than the Pirates win total when all is said and done?

Right now the Pirates have 41 wins

[wally_green]

This is a WAR. Our children will die is we lose it. I will not shed a tear for any of these subhumans

[JewishRighter]

"The number of was not immediately known..."

Translation:

Hezbo pr0p0ganda department not sure how many corpses are available from the morgue to plant on scene before MSM and GHG get there.

[Westlander]

Go Tigers!

[wally_green]

Now if the number of "victims" surpasses the Tigers win total we are on to something.....................

[browardchad]

This has to be my all-time favorite from YNet, ria Reuters (naturally):

Security sources in Lebanon said at least 33 farm workers, including many Kurds and Syrians, were killed on Friday when Israeli aircraft bombarded trucks being loaded with fruits at a farm on Lebanon's border with Syria.

They said the farm was near the village of Qaa in the northern tip of the eastern Bekaa Valley. Aircraft fired at least three rockets at the trucks which were being loaded with peaches and plums.

ROFLMAO!

[MarineDad]

But muzzies seem to improvise their way out of such predicaments with relative ease, friend...

...they often require the "dearly departed" to walk themselves over to the set for the photo shoot.

[MonroeDNA]

ROTFLMAO!!!
