The Qana massacre took place on April 18, 1996, near Qana, a village in Southern Lebanon, when the Israel Defense Forces fired artillery shells at a United Nations compound. The artillery barrage had been launched to cover an Israeli special forces unit commanded by future Israeli Prime Minister NAFTALI BENNETT after it came under mortar fire launched from the vicinity of the compound. Of 800 Lebanese civilians who had taken refuge in the compound, 106 were killed and around 116 injured. Four Fijian United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon soldiers were also seriously injured. The attack occurred amid heavy fighting between the Israel Defense Forces and Hezbollah during Operation Grapes of Wrath. A United Nations investigation later stated that the Israeli shelling was deliberate, based on video evidence showing an Israeli reconnaissance drone over the compound before the shelling. Amnesty International conducted an on-site investigation of the incident in collaboration with military experts, using interviews with UNIFIL staff and civilians in the compound, and posing questions to the IDF, who did not reply. Amnesty concluded, "the IDF intentionally attacked the UN compound, although the motives for doing so remain unclear. The IDF have failed to substantiate their claim that the attack was a mistake. Israel bombed the same region using the SAME excuse ten years later during the 2006 Qana airstrike (also referred to as the 2006 Qana massacre or the second Qana massacre was an air strike carried out by the Israeli Air Force (IAF) on a three-story building in the small community of al-Khuraybah near the South Lebanese village of Qana on July 30, 2006, during the 2006 Lebanon War. 28 civilians were killed, of which 16 were children. I cannot even begin to describe the horrible aftermath images. Google image search the Qana Massacre aftermath if you are over 18, and remember those kids next time you see Naftali Bennett on TV or send money and weapons to Israel. Send this to your politicians in your country and designate the criminals who perpetrated these massacres 'persona non grata' and boycott their apartheid policies per human rights watch.
