	Qana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Qana is a village located southeast of Tyre, Lebanon.
		On April 18, 1996, during heavy fighting between the Israeli Defense Forces and Hezbollah during "Operation Grapes of Wrath", a Fijian UNIFIL battallion compound was shelled by Israeli artillery.
		Critics of Israel often refer to this attack as the Qana massacre.

		Qana was not an exception to this pattern, and the only reason that the world took notice was because it was the most horrific Israeli attack to date.
		Referring to the Qana attack, he said that the IDF "had to adopt very strange and unusual procedures, which involve reacting with very short warning times." It had long been standard operating procedure in south Lebanon that "shell warnings" of imminent Israeli attacks were communicated to UNIFIL forces by the IDF.
		The most contentious issue regarding Qana is whether the Israeli attack was accidental or deliberate, and whether the shells that landed inside the base were stray shells—known as artillery scatter—from the barrage launched toward the Hizballah mortar site, or whether these shells were part of a separate firing.

		The Qana Massacre took place on April 18, 1996 in the headquarters of the Fijian battalion of UNIFIL, located in the small town of Qana, in southern Lebanon.
		The compound came under a heavy artillery shelling by the M-109A2 155 mm guns of a nearby Israeli Defense Forces unit in response to two rocket and mortar attacks launched earlier that day (towards the unit) from nearby the compound.
		The UN investigated the incident in detail, concluding "while the possibility cannot be ruled out completely, the pattern of impacts in the Qana area makes it unlikely that the shelling of the United Nations compound was the result of technical and/or procedural errors".

	A Sort of Chorus of Screaming
		A 15-year-old Qana survivor who accompanied the group noted somewhat trenchantly that perhaps it wasn’t such a coincidence that only two U.N. soldiers were wounded during the shelling.
		The U.N. report, whose release on May 6 greatly angered both the Israeli and American ambassadors to the U.N. because it suggested that the artillery attack was not a mistake, said that eight shells aimed at the center of the Fijian camp had proximity fuses.
		And on April 18, in the course of a mere 20 minutes, the Israeli army robbed with impunity 800 Lebanese of many of the family ties that are among the few joys in a life that has seen 18-years of Israeli occupation and oppression.

		Its conclusion was that "While the possibility cannot be ruled out completely, it is unlikely that the shelling of the United Nations compound was the result of gross technical and/or procedural error." Israel could not give a straight answer to the questions raised.

		The Israeli officers stated that the Israeli forces were not aware at the time of the shelling that a large number of Lebanese civilians had taken refuge in the Qana compound.

		Their appeal is especially noteworthy considering that most of the petitioners still live on the edges of Israeli-occupied south Lebanon, an insecure and highly volatile area dominated by the Israelis and the South Lebanese Army, devoid of any protection from the Lebanese state.
		Although this story began in Qana, it reached a modest home in Dearborn, Mich., where Haidar Bitar and his wife, Lebanese nationals residing in the United States, learned that their two eldest children -- Abdul Mohsen and Hadi, then 9 and 8 years old respectively -- had been killed in the Qana massacre.

		Just yesterday JCOME sent out the information contained on page 2 which has appeared in the British press outlining the cynical Israeli policy of targetting civilians and devastating Lebanon -- and this was all published prior to today's tragic developments.
		It should not be forgotten that Hizballah was created in the aftermath of Israel's terrible destruction of Lebanon in 1982 -- during which tens of thousands of people were killed and terrible massacres comparable to war crimes occurred with clear Israeli complicity and knowledge.
		The enormous casualty toll, and the gruesome images of charred and dismembered victims, many of them infants and children, could not be easily ignored, nor could the fact that the shells exploded -- in broad daylight and clear weather -- in the middle of a UN base where over 800 civilians were openly being sheltered.

		The evidence is now overwhelming that Israel's unprecedented attack on the U.N. base at Qana in southern Lebanon last month was almost certainly a deliberate act as the U.N. itself has recently concluded.
		It should be noted that this is not the first time Israel has acted in outrageous ways violating basic standards of international law and conduct and then following a clear pattern of deception and cover-up when unexpected evidence was forthcoming.
		U.S. complicity in what happened at Qana and the subsequent cover-up should also be a matter of the utmost concern.

		If the Qana massacre of April 18, 1996 was a tragic 'mistake', have the zionists made any effort not to repeat such mistakes?
		The excuse of a 'mistake' is simply parroted to provide some justification for its apologists, especially in the west, to come to Israel's defence when its record is debated on television or in the press.
		Some 1,000 Lebanese civilians - men, women and children, Muslims and Christians - had taken refuge in the UN compound of the Fijian contingent at Qana in the mistaken belief that it would be safe from Israeli attacks.
