| 2006-08-05 | |
An ISF missile slammed into farm workers loading vegetables into a refrigerator truck near the Lebanon-Syria border on Friday, killing or wounding as many as 40 people, the workers' foreman said. The Lebanese and Kurdish farm laborers were in a field in a strip of no-man's land along the border, foreman Rabei al-Jabali said. He said 40 casualties were taken to a hospital in Syria, because roads in Lebanon were cut off by Israeli airstrikes earlier Friday.

| #5 I saw photos the other day. Someone was looking at clothing in the rubble, presumably of the dead. The clothing looked like desert camo. |

| #4 Even if there were no weapons on the truck, food supplies that might go to enemy soldiers are legitimate targets in time of war. |

| #3 I saw something yesterday that said they were observed loading the produce on top of weaponry. Either way, they certainly worked hard to earn that Darwin Award. |

| #2 Maybe it was a Syrian Gallagher, with exploding watermelons. Hanging around the first aisle, can be hazardous. |

| #1 Loading heavy trucks on the Leb border in a war where Israel is being hit with 150+ 150 lb. rockets per day. They're surprised that the Israelis rocketed them? Hell, with actions like that they're absolutely BEGGING to be nominated for a Darwin Award. To avoid trouble, you don't just have to stay OUT of it, you have to stay AWAY from it. These guys didn't understand that. Maybe now the survivors will...nah, they're Muzzies. They'll do it again. |
