I think Hizbollah set this up for Israel to hit. With the civilians inside. It's too convenient.

The war against Israel (3)

Many have pointed out that Qana — where, horribly, around 60 civilians including 22 children were killed after an Israeli air strike against Hezbollah — was used as the launch site for more than 150 rockets fired at Israel, including the hospital in Nahariya (which fortunately had been evacuated). People have also pointed out that, as has been the case throughout its strikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon, Israel gave warnings that Qana would be targeted and urged residents to flee; it is more than passingly strange that in such circumstances people remained there — and kept their children there, knowing them to be directly in harm's way from an IDF air strike. For its part, the IDF insists that it had no idea civilians were inside building, only that Hezbollah was using it as base for firing rockets at Israel. Indeed, despite the uncontrolled venom being hurled at Israel now from the British media, it is clear from any fair-minded assessment of the available information (which itself may well provide only a partial and even skewed picture) that Israel's attempt to destroy Hezbollah has been hampered — possibly fatally — by its attempts to avoid killing innocent Lebanese civilians, because Hezbollah — well aware that Israel will always try to avoid the taking of innocent life —has deliberately sited its rockets and armaments in civilian buildings, thus using the Lebanese as human shields.
