No, I am saying that Israel took out that post because it was being used to monitor their movements, and most likely their movements were being reported to the enemy, and whoever was in it, died for their direct involvement in military activity against the IDF. The UN has LONG been used by the enemy as a cover. The IDF lost 3 soldiers in years past, because the UN allowed their vehicles to be used by Hezbollah, which caught the 3 soldiers unawares. that trust of the UN cost those 3 soldeirs their lives and Israel was forced to released hudreds of miltants, just for the return of the dead bodies.

Retired Canadian General Lew MacKenzie — who is speaking in Toronto tonight at a Stand with Israel rally — was interviewed on CBC Toronto radio this a.m. He told the show’s anchor that he had received an e-mail only days before from the dead Canadian observor who was a member of his former battalion. MacKenzie says that the message indicated in effect that the UN position was being used as cover by Hezbollah, who, MacKenzie explained, can do so quite freely as they are not members of the UN and not subject, therefore, to official condemnation. MacKenzie further took issue with the misleading reportage (citing CNN in particular) that suggests that Beirut is being bombarded by the IDF and that the city is in ruins. He said that the bombing is no where near the saturation levels that constitute a bombardment and the IAF have specifically targetted a twelve-block area that is, more-or-less, Hezbollah City, and only after dropping leaflets warning civilians to vacate well in advance of the planned airstrikes.
