Qana Bombing Victims Staged By Hezbollah?
No clear evidence for that yet, but it sort of seems that way according to this:
According to earlier reporting there were 56 people killed when the building collapsed. Thirty-four of them were children. Tell me, why on earth would they be putting anybody, let alone children, into a building that had just been attacked?
And let's not forget that Hezbollah was firing rockets from this position prior to Israel's attack. Which means that one of two things is true:
Not sure which of those is true, but in either case I think the responsibility for those dead civilians has got to fall to Hezbollah.
An IDF investigation has found that the building in Qana struck by the Air Force fell around eight hours after being hit by the IDF.
"The attack on the structure in the Qana village took place between midnight and one in the morning. The gap between the timing of the collapse of the building and the time of the strike on it is unclear," Brigadier General Amir Eshel, Head of the Air Force Headquarters told journalists at the Defense Ministry in Tel Aviv, following the incidents at Qana.
Eshel and the head of the IDF's Operational Branch, Major General Gadi Eisnkot said the structure was not being attacked when it collapsed, at around 8:00 in the morning.
The IDF believes that Hizbullah explosives in the building were behind the explosion that caused the collapse.
Another possibility is that the rickety building remained standing for a few hours, but eventually collapsed. "It could be that inside the building, things that could eventually cause an explosion were being housed, things that we could not blow up in the attack, and maybe remained there, Brigadier General Eshel said.

- Hezbollah is purposefully putting civilians at risk by firing on Israeli forces from areas heavy populated by civilians and then using civilian casualties caused by Israel's retaliation as part of their on-going propaganda war.
- Hezbollah loaded up the building with civilians that were mostly children (alive or already dead?) after the Israeli bombing and then brought the building down themselves and then used the corpses for propaganda.
Not sure which of those is true, but in either case I think the responsibility for those dead civilians has got to fall to Hezbollah.
