A minibus carrying refugees fleeing northwards from the bombing of the south was hit today by an Israeli missile. Three were killed and twelve seriously wounded.The scene of the dead and wounded being ferried to a local hospital was filmed by a BBC news team and the story became one of the lead items in the UK s national news.

The BBC reporter ,obviously distressed and angry at the sight of the dead and wounded ,wanted to know how the refugees were supposed to escape from the southern war zone if their cars and buses were going to be bombed and strafed by Israeli warplanes.
