Do you know for certain that there where no Hezbollah in the building? I don't see how you can know that. Even if they where not in the building its irrelevant if they are all around it. They attacked from that position. If someone is attacking from your position you have an obligation to stop them if you can. The UN observers almost certainly could not stop these attacks, so the next thing they should have done was to leave the position. Any position being used to launch attacks is a legitimate target. It might not be a good target, if the gain in reduced attacks is very small compared the the likely non-combatant casualties, but even in that case its still a legitimate target and the attack was not murder by definition.
