You state "Israel is hitting almost exclusively civilian targets in Gaza and Lebanon. "


"...Nasrallah, soon after Israel's military reportedly hit his home and destroyed Hezbollah's headquarters in southern Beirut. "


"Israeli aircraft also carried out more airstrikes on a Hezbollah stronghold in Beirut and an airstrike on Hezbollah's radio station, Reuters reported, wounding at least one person. The radio station, al-Nour, remained on the air, the news agency said.

Overnight, IDF warplanes attacked 18 targets in Lebanon, including the headquarters for the Syrian-backed Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine in east Lebanon.

Israeli planes also attacked Hezbollah headquarters in southern Beirut overnight, according to IDF. Bridges and roads leading to the offices were destroyed in the operation.

Along the Israel-Lebanon border, IDF attacked two Hezbollah outposts, a weapons storage facility used by militants and three fuel stations south of Sidon."



But the Hezbollah are using UNGUIDED, area bombardment rockets on civilian areas- THAT is OK with you, it seems.


"The continued rocket attacks -- including one that authorities said killed a woman and her grandchild Friday -- prompted Israel's Cabinet to approve extended military operations in Lebanon, a spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said"


So, CarolC, Grandmothers and their grandchildren are legitimate military targets for Arabs, but roads, weapon storage, and C&C offices are NOT for the Israelis???????

Or is it still that Jews are not "human" enough for you?


IF the Israelis WANTED to inflict civilian casualties, in three days the would have killed a LOT more that the present reported numbers.
