That Would Be Terrible

CNN is reporting that

The U.N. observers killed when an Israeli bomb made a direct hit on their bunker in southern Lebanon Tuesday called an Israeli military liaison about 10 times in the six hours before they died to warn that the aerial attacks were getting close to their position, according to a U.N. officer.

After each call, the Israeli officer promised to have the bombing stopped, an officer at the U.N. Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) base in Noqoura said.

Finally, an Israeli bomb exploded directly on the U.N. post near Khiyam, killing four U.N. observers from Austria, Finland, Canada and China, the U.N. officer said.



I hope this isn't a case when revenge is being taken for the active compliance of UNIFIL observers in the kidnapping of three Israeli soldiers in 2000.

That would be terrible.

By the way, what were these observers observing? Hizbullah aggression?
