Hezbollah Continues

To try to set a world record for war crimes totally ignored by the world's press. Over 80 rockets were launched by Hezbollah into civilian areas on Monday with absolutely no attempt whatsoever to target anyone but civilians.

 At least 80 rockets rained down on northern cities on Monday, with over 50 landing in Kiryat Shmona. Several people were lightly wounded in the attacks, and four houses were damaged by direct hits in Kiryat Shmona and Safed. One of the rockets fired at Safed landed in the city's industrial district.

Five people were hospitalized in Nahariya as a result of the attacks. One person was lightly wounded by shrapnel, three suffered from smoke inhalation, and one other was treated for shock.

Throughout the morning, warning sirens were heard in towns all over the North, as rockets landed in Kiryat Shmona, Tiberias, Safed, Nahariya, and towns in the upper Galilee, among others. The Home Front Command urged residents to enter shelters or inner rooms in their homes.

The latest rocket barrages followed Sunday evening's devastating attack on Haifa, in which a woman and two men were killed and at least 189 people were wounded by a massive barrage of rockets that struck at least six sites in a crowded residential area.

Two were critically wounded and died of their wounds shortly after. Several others were listed in serious condition. All of the wounded were evacuated to local hospitals within some 30 minutes.

Two of the victims, Hanna Hamam, 62, and Labiba Mazawi, 67, both Haifa residents, will be laid to rest in the Christian section of the Haifa cemetery; the funeral procession will leave from the downtown Catholic church at 5 p.m..

The third victim, Roni Rubinski, 30, from Kiryat Motzkin, will be laid to rest at 2 p.m. in the Tel Regev cemetery, Israel Radio reported.

One building sustained a direct hit and collapsed, trapping dozens of people inside. Emergency workers labored to extract the victims.

Note the lack of wall to wall pictures of rescue efforts when Israelis are involved rather than Hezbollah. Interesting, isn't it? Rather revealing as well, I think.
