"The news re. the UN peacekeeping thing is very confusing -- one site says it
was bombed, another says it was "caught in crossfire" which to me implies
guns of some sort rather than missiles, one reports that the UN was
in contact with Israel 10 times prior to the strike and Israel reassured them
over and over that they were not going to be in harm's way, another says
Israel had no idea the building was housing UN personnel..... is there truth
out there anywhere?"
The UN outpost was hit by a bomb. Israel admits it was hit by a bomb, one of
theirs. From the time this was first reported yesterday (?) I've nowhere heard
or read that the UN observers were 'caught in a crossfire.' The
controversy now
is over whether the bombing was intentional. Israel says no. Others say
yes. But
bomb?no crossfire.
