Well to be honest i bet those would look like missle trucks from 30,000 feet.
It's still tragic.
what do you meen lying? have you seen these rocket trucks? they look almost exactly like those things.
Here, watch this YouTube video of a Rocket attack. You can clearly see one of the hezzbollah rocket trucks firing, you look at that truck and tell me that they dont look like the trucks in those pictures, especially from high in the air. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHUu_UJkNNc&mode=related&search=
The only problem is that the likeliness of hezbollah having rocket lauching trucks in the heart of Achrafyye is almot the same as having them on the mars or jupiter.
But thats the thing with militia groups, they dont exactly operate like a normal army so its difficult fighting them.
The thing is that Achrafyye is a predominantly christian area of Beirut where hezbollah has virtually no support at all. That's why it's quasi-impossible that they hide rocket launchers there.
Heh, they just showed this on the news (the exact site I mean, and this entry).
I think Israel just used that as an excuse to be able to blow up one more thing and add it to their list of explosions.
Oh my god these pictures are hard. One question i am writing for the german wikipedia project at the article bout this situation. And unfourtanatly we haven't any pic bout the situation in lebanon which we can use cause they are not published under GNU licence or free published at Wikipedia Commons. So if anyone has such pics would be great if you can upload it in commons and send me a mail with the name of the picture and tell what we can show on it.
Canadians are disgusted with Harper and with the Israelis and we have started a letter writing campaign to demand an end to Israel murdering of innocent civilians. We invite ALL peace loving citizens of Canada, Lebanon and the World to join us. Please cut and paste this letter or your' own letter but, please keep it respectful and send to this email address: [email protected]
PLEASE PASS ALONG THIS EMAIL ADDRESS AND LETTER TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW AND POST ON WEBSITES AROUND THE GLOBE! Thank you and pray for the innocent Lebanese. Dear Mr.Prime Minister, As your wife weeps over the grave of a distant great uncle five times removed who died in a war that ended some seventy years ago, the killing of Canadians by Israel continues today. Israel murdered a Canadian family of eight in there own home and they are dehumanized and labeled as collateral damage. They are not a down payment they were one of our own and they were murdered, slaughtered by a terrorist state that you voiced full support for. I would like to add my voice to the MILLIONS of others calling for the war criminals who killed those innocent Canadian men, women and children brought to justice where they can answer for crimes against humanity. Israel invaded a sovereign nation. This is an act of war against peace and humanity and what you should be doing is condemning Israel and doing everything in your power to end the murder of innocents. I am outraged, disappointed and disgusted by your' full support of Israel as it violates every single international law. I know you will be receiving TENS OF THOUSANDS of letters like mine in the days that follow and more once Israeli bombs stop raining down on the innocent civilians of Lebanon. You will hear us most clearly on election day Mr. Prime Minister. As a Canadian I am deeply hurt and wounded by your' flagrant disregard for Lebanese life. You do no have my permission to broadcast my name in part or in full however, please feel free to broadcast the contents of this letter. Respectfully, Your Name Where You're From
Thanks for the irony in this pictures. It was some kind of relief. The IDF bombed the trucks because one of them has the Lebanese flag. It feels like the IDF is playing a video game. Spare the bombs people, every bomb u are sending in vain costs a yearly scholarship for an Israeli kid.
I know the flag was put afterwards, so no need to bla bla and shit... Peace to all
I hope that you and your loved ones will escape this madness unharmed!! Americans care about the welfare of the innocent people of Lebanon!! We care about your children!!!

I have dear friends with family in Achrafieh. My heart and prayers go out to all of the people of Lebanon. This must stop, and the world needs to condemn the true aggressors of this of this act of violence. Nothing is going to be resolved by killing innocent people and destroying their homeland.
..................................CNN......................................
Please send an email to CNN and other US media outlets and ask them to at least try to be fair in their coverage. They are brain-washing the American public. CNN latest tactics is to scare the average American of Houzballah attacking the US. It is sad that people don't know the truth that Israel is conducting a genocide while the US supports and the rest of the world watches it happen. Please get your voice out and pressure the media to show the pictures of killed children, women and old people. It is GENOCIDE friends... It was well planned.... I have news for you and it is a FACT... Israel conducted an all out military excercise using heavy sea, land and air weapons on June 11. I know that for a fact. It was well planned and that was their last excercise before this GENOCIDE.
Don,
You are a cowrd and an ignorant idot who needs to get a life and grow up. You don't even know God because you don't know what life is all about. You must the typical Israeli (or Jew American) that has a lot of growing to do. Your parents must be so proud of you and I am sure you have accomplished a great deal in your life already and will make a postive impact on humanity. Good for you. Now I need to pack my bag because your God is coming to sweep me away.
Have you forgotten who started this nightmare a week ago? What should Israel do? Sit with their thumbs up their asses and let those nut cases keep shooting their crap at them? Too bad if Israel has better weapons...don't mess with the big dogs and then whine when you get your asses kicked.
Hey Bruxsa,
I can tell how smart you are from your name. It says it all. You dumbass, why don't you go to this website www.fromisraeltolebanon.org and see whose ass you are kicking!!! If you want to talk about ass kicking rather than peace, I refer you to the ass kicking that happened on the ground today on the border. Now that is what you call ass kicking not dropping bombs from 15,000 ft away on children... dumbass...
Merci au peuple libanais pour son courage et sa bravoure.
Les libanais aujourd�hui n ont plus rien beaucoup ont perdu leurs familles leurs proches leurs maisons! Beaucoup sont bless�s ne dorment pas et ont faim. Mais si il y a toujours une chose qu ils n ont pas perdu c est leurs amour propre ; debout ils le sont et debout ils resteront. De gaule a dit une fois que quand on a tout perdu il ne nous reste plus que l honneur. Mais que fait le monde? Des enfants sont tu�s tous les jours des femmes, des vieillards essayant de fuir les zones de bombardements et j en passe et j en passe!! Arr�tons cette hypocrisie ! J ai vu tout � l heure des petits enfants innocents isra�liens dessiner sur des missiles de l arm�e israelinne, Un cadeau pour les petits libanais. Libanais restez unis et vous vaincrez. Que dieu vous aide.
Bruxsa, why would you condemn INNOCENT Lebanese people who don't even support Hizbollah! Apparently the lives of innocent children mean nothing to your ignorant ass. If you want to protect Israel...attack IRAN not Lebanon. Lebanon was the most stable, most pro-western government the Middle East had! Do you FEEL SAFER NOW???? I hope PEACE FOR EVERYONE!
Did god tell you that himself? Weird I was talking to him to other day and he had no problems with "stinky brown bastards". When you really think of it, Jesus was from that exact same area, I wonder if you had seen him would you have called him "stinky brown bastard"??????
I too qualify as a "stinky brown bastard" and what I do in life is discover new cancer drugs to cure people (no matter if they're as ignorant or more ignorant than yourself) and children from horrible diseases. I wonder if god takes me along with the rest of us, would you be able to do the work I'm doing???? I seriously doubt it.
I think this is quite sad, why is the world too blind to see the truth. Lebanon is getting crushed by Israel. the israeli's claim to be trying to get rid of the Hezbollah 'terrorist' group, now when the hell did the Ashrafieye be a place for the Hezbollah, as the news said, it is a christian community and with all the amazement and advances in technology, they have NO excuse to blow that area up. I mean, for god sakes, I have a satillite view on my PC at home and i could clearly see everything its called GOOGLE EARTH, I am sure a countries military that is being supported by the strongest superpower has a LITTLE bit more stronger technology than google earth, so to blow up 2 drilling trucks, thats the stupidest shit I've ever heard, and as I said, its very unexcusable.
Peace
I'm going to post this here because this is getting international attention and so, insha'Allah (God-willing) some people may benefit from it.... CNN is doing a good job of covering this whole crisis -- from the Israeli point of view...if this was all about Israel, I'd give them an award...however, this concerns Israelis, and Lebanese people.....so, for that they get an F+... CNN is making a huge point of saying that it is monitoring the Arab newstations and for any new information they may not have...what CNN is doing is watching the news so they can IGNORE it or report it if it happens to make one mistake (i.e. they made a big deal out some arab stations saying that Hizbollah bought down an F16 plane when they did not).........I have all those arab stations that they get, and what those stations are reporting is much better than CNN because they give both sides of the issue..you hear about the 12 + members of a Lebanese family being killed in cold bold...as well as the 2 women who died in that Israeli town...what I'm trying to say is that CNN is NOT the most trusted name in news anymore... as for the whole situation...I want to share something with you all, and you tell me if it doesn't make you go HMMMMMMMMMMM....... On February 14th, 2005, Prime minister of Lebanon, Rafik Harriri was assasinated. Someone started the talk about it being the Syrians who assassinated him...all of a sudden, Lebanese people were told by US and the rest of the "civilized" world that they should reach for democracy and demand that Syrian troops leave Lebanon...International pressure, especially from US and Israel descended on Damascus..in fact, UN resolution 1559 was drafted and the US and Isreal DEMANDED that it be upheld....the Syrians left, but Hizbollah did not disarm....Syria and Iran were set up as an axis of evil.....then...a year after Syria, a fairly adequate military power in that region, left Lebanon, Israel deemed fit to attack Lebanon...oh yes, I know that Hizbollah captured two of its soldiers...but this is nothing new...Hizbollah has been doing this for years and Israel has been swabbing captives with them for years..anyways, Israel decides to attack Lebanon with all that it has.....that makes me go HMMMMMMMMMMMM, especially since former Israeli prime minister, Ehud Barak told CNN that this plan has always been on the shelf and they've just been waiting to use it...HMMMMMMMMMMMMM......now syrian troops are not in Lebanon to aid Lebanon, should it need it, so, it's an easier target for Israel......and it jsut so happens that "Syria assasinated" Rafik Harriri...........HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...just a thought... One question I've been DYING to ask CNN corporation........ IF MANAR TV IS OUTLAWED IN THE EUROPEAN NATION, and NORTH AMERICA, DOES IT NOT MEAN THAT CNN IS BREAKING THE LAW BY WATCHING IT???? eh....I'm done with the media..I'ma just pray that Allah gives victory to His righteous servants...Ameen! PEace
I am an American of lebanese decent, so obbviously I am not getting the full story of what is really happening in Lebanon and Israel because the U.S. media is only giving american citizens bits and pieces of what is happening ( some news stations are doing better than others though - mainly CNN and Fox News ). Because I cant get the full story from TV and newspaper, I was hoping that some people could answer a few questions for me that I am not being answered from the news. I have been watching peoples blogs ever since I heard about this site a few days ago and it looks like it is very heavly visited. If some people would be able to answer a few of the questions I have below, ( I would really enjoy seeing differnt peoples oppinions and answers ) this would help me a lot.
1. Were there people in the trucks that were mistaken and bombed? 2. If Israel is at war with Hezbollah, but not the republic of Lebanon isn't there more alternative and peacefull ways to solve this problem - such as The Lebanese and Israeli governments teaming up against Hezboalla together... peacefully. If this is or is not possible, why? 3. If Hezbollah does retreat and give up eventually, would Israel and Lebanon have any more problems with each other. If not, would it be possible that some day they may be allias. 4. If anything Lebanon is the most modern country in all of the Middle East, they are the most civilized and western also. Beirut looks as modern and even more modern than most U.S. cities. If the lebanese are this developed why isnt America an Alli with them. 5. It looks like if lebanon and israel would team up with eachother, they could be the most powerfull and peacefull countries in the middle east, has any one figured this out. If they were together couldn't they eliminate the Hezbollah gurielas and forces in the south "easily"? 6. The U.S. media is stateing that the reason the Lebanese government hasn't done anything about hezbollah is because they are to weak. Would this possibly be because, they are continuously attacked by surrounding countries, and every time a war ends, they are atacked again before they can build strength and gain the power they need to protect themselves? 7. It seems like lebanon is picked on a lot by its surrounding countries. Lebanon is in a region full of desert, yet lebanon has huge snowcapped mountains and beautifull fertile coastlines unlike other countries in the middle East. Could a reson lebanon is always being attacked by its surrounding countries be that everyone else around them is jealous of the beautiful small little country ( Lebanon ) Thank you for reading my questions, please ansere as many as you can so I can develop my own oppinon of what is really happening in Lebanon and Israel! Thank you "bloggingbeirut.com" and thank you "Fink Ployd" I am praying for all of you your friend, DJ
"The Lebanese and Israeli governments teaming up against Hezboalla together... peacefully"
Do you HONESTLY think any lebanese should even consider anything related to "peace" with Israel???!!!! "If anything Lebanon is the most modern country in all of the Middle East, they are the most civilized and western also." Lebanon has been completely destroyed...
good fotos. fck israel.
take care Leban Poland with U :) P.S. Napierdalac zydow!
Yes, maybe you could think these trucks were missile launchers from 30,000 ft. But from this distance, garbage trucks could be missile launchers too, as could cars packed with civilians, ambulances and just about everything else, and this "guess, then press" bombing is turning out to be a major cause of civilian deaths in Lebanon.
War from 30,000 ft is inaccurate and cowardly. Under the Geneva conventions, Israel is obliged to do better, and specifically to take all possible measures not to harm civilians and allow them safe passage. I can't go another night seeing bits of children in bombed out cars pointing North. May God protect them.
I would like to express my solidarity to all the people who are sufferring because all of these hateness and blindness that looks like will never end. Let's hope people can one day leave together and enjoy their lifes peacefully.

every one... i feel the anger you have towards whats happening...
and it doesnt help when ignorant washed people come in to spew hatefull racist comments about the arabs... but please try not to do the same back to them its what they want... this way the can say see they are anti-israel.. which then can shut down this site... just remember that... theres alot of excellent info on here and alot of excellent people... lets not let them win this war :) and anyway let the israely ruin it for themself with out our help .. they are doing a great job at it... of course they will only turn around and say we are all anti-israel goyum.. i was called that today. lol too bad they dont know my background.. lol... because at the end your words and actions are much stronger then weapons.
SORRY for everything you all are going thru.
i just dont get it when ppl blame everything on arabs.theier paying the prices of what hitler did to jews. well i am not a arab to let you all know. why are all this ppl in the middle east so against israel well it all goes back to 1940's thank you british empire for bringing all the jews from europe and dumming them in the middle east . that was the first stage and slowly israel crabbed more and more land from the arabs made them homeless in thier own land and here we are talking about beirut not fallowing the un article while israel has never fallowed on so many such artical why ist unfair if the arabs break one and fair for israel do break every one of them. even today they go around gaza and do what ever they wish its ok but no arab can do that. israel kidnaped so many MP from gaza and that is all fine and while so westren world doesnt say a word to israel about it. i may not know alot but tell you its so sad to see and hear about all this cviliens dying everyday in both sides . i just hope peple around the world stop hate aganist arab and try to understand they point what are they so upset about and work out something unless we all do this we wont see a end to this radicals use terror on us . i am from india and has you all know we also went thru recent bombing in mumbai and years of terror in north of india but being a indian i am so proud of my country. Because my Govt just dint get up and start bombing other country . i think INDIA has set a example for the world. bombing other countries doesnt solve the prombles you got to work with the people. while the western world calls INDIA a third world country i am still proud of my nation and shame on so called cvilised world for just standing by and see all this death and dedtorying of a beautiful nation called lebanon i just hope and pray we all can stop this maddness of israel . and hope one day we all can live happy together may god bless all of us and shower his mercy and love so we all can unite.
Hi, we have some friends in Lebanon that we wanted to contact. We tried one of the lebanon white pages without much success. Is there a good online white pages website to get the number of someone living in Achrafieh . Or better, does anyone happen to know the phone number of Nathalie MAlkoum and her family in Achrafieh . If so, please contact us by email at [email protected]
Thanks in advance, S & F
It would look like a rocket truck to me from far away too! In times of war, Israel has to make decisions based on their best evaluation of what is going on. Since Hizballah wants to hide among innocent civilians, it would be even more difficult to judge whether or not something like that truck looked to be a legitimate danger or not.
Nonetheless, I think the war is a tragedy. I feel so bad for the innocent people on BOTH sides of the line!
remember after 911....Americans asked " why does the world hate us?"....apparently they never figured it out
We the people of America are being takin for a ride and Bush and his gang of thugs are the bus drivers.
I and all the people I know just can't get over what is happening in Lebanon.All the poor men woman and children who dying for nothing just amazes me,how can this happen in this day and age. Please don't think all of America has lost there minds,just those in power and those who follow them blindly.
Hizballah is a cancer that needs to be extracted! Hizballah members are nothing but agents of Iran, and henceforth, traitors to Lebanon as a sovereign country and to the great lebanese people.
We, the lebanese people, have to find the courage and fortitude to kick them and their proxies, and all people with syrian tendencies out of the lebanese governments, and cure this government for good. This country has suffered for too long. We have suffered for too long. Israel is doing our bidding. We should be thankful for that. However, it is nothing to be proud of, for we should have done it ourselves.!!
Well I do pray for the lives of innocents on both sides.I pray that Isreal will see that they are doing nothing more than killing the wrong people and back off.If they want to protect them selves I don't think this is the way to do it.What they are doing is putting themselves in the cross hairs of every Arab nation in the area.
