<<Earlier on Sunday, dozens of Lebanese civilians were killed after an IAF
strike in the town of Qana.
On Sunday evening, Air Force Chief of Staff Brig.-Gen. Amir Eshel reported
that some 150 rockets had been fired from Qana over the past 20 days.
Speaking to reporters, Eshel added that Hizbullah rocket launchers were
hidden in civilian buildings in the village. He proceeded to show video footage
of rocket launchers being driven into the village following launches.
Eshel also pointed out that the building was hit sometime around midnight
Saturday night and didn't collapse until about 8 a.m. Sunday morning, leaving
an
unusual gap in the timing of the events which the IDF was investigating.
"It's possible that inside the house, something or other was being stored
that caused an explosion - something that we didn't succeed in blowing up in
the
[initial] attack and that perhaps was left over there," Eshel said. "I say
this very cautiously, because I currently don't have the faintest idea what
the explanation for this gap could be.">>
