Let the facts speak for themselves

From Reuters today:

Hizbollah rockets have killed 18 civilians across northern Israel since the conflict erupted when the militia seized two Israeli soldiers and killed eight others in a cross-border raid on July 12. It has fired more than 1,400 rockets into Israel.

Israel’s offensive against the Shi’ite group has killed 418 people in Lebanon, mostly civilians.

And from the BBC:

UN peacekeepers in south Lebanon contacted Israeli troops 10 times before an Israeli bomb killed four of them, an initial UN report says.

The post was hit by a precision-guided missile after six hours of shelling, diplomats familiar with the probe say.
