Lebanon shelling.

SORRY DOESN’T MAKE A DEAD MAN ALIVE.

All of us know it. The irony is that we still use it. Well, you might wonder what it has got to do now..?

The Israeli air strike on the Lebanese town of Qana in the early hours on a Sunday last month had left 54 civilians including 34 children killed.

In its deadliest bombing till date, the attack on the town of Qana, repeatedly, had left a bloody carnage. (Even bloodier ones followed, you might very well remember the picture of an Israeli lady holding a few months’ old baby, both dead, lying amongst the rubbles of a building). An entire building received a direct hit from the air raid. Eyewitnesses have said that parents had held these dead children cradled in their hands, still clothed in their pajamas when they had gone on sleep earlier.

After the bombing, the Israeli government had vide a statement, regretted the civilian deaths caused.

It was also reported that the rescue workers found it hard to proceed, stunned by the scale of the carnage. Unless some restraint is exercised by the Israelis as well as the Hizbollah, the end to all this misery and suffering is nowhere in sight.

No wonder they rightly say that “THE FIRST CASUALTY OF WAR IS INNOCENCE”.
