Believing bombing over, Lebanese paid high price

Ali Bajouk set off to deliver supplies to elderly relatives in the village of Aita al-Shaab thinking Israel had suspended its aerial bombardment of southern Lebanon.

He was wrong. Bajouk now lies in a hospital bed in Beirut, his body, head and face wrapped in bandages to cover the burns caused by an air strike which scorched half his skin.

"We went up to Aita on the grounds there was a ceasefire," said Bajouk, 39, his mouth and eyes all that were visible beyond thick layers of bandages. "They are liars," he said.

Israel had said on Sunday it would suspend air strikes on southern Lebanon for 48 hours to investigate an air strike on the village of Qana which killed 54 civilians, mainly children. ...

Making the trip from the nearby village of Rmaish with friends, Bajouk was outside a shop when the missile hit.

"There was a spotter plane above us, it saw us. A missile was launched at the shop. We jumped away but the fire leapt out at us," said the father of three.

"It didn't knock us unconscious. We got up, turned the car keys and went back down to Rmaish," he said. A teenaged boy who had been with him lay on a nearby bed, also completely covered in bandages.

The Lebanese Red Cross evacuated Bajouk and his friends to hospital in Beirut, a drive of two hours but which needed eight because of the destruction wrought by air strikes on the roads. ...

2. Bajouk wasn't reading the MSM...

or DU posters as there WAS a ceasefire and Israel didn't attack Aita al-Shaab, which is the place where 'across the border' Israel claimed, Hez kidnapped their soldiers from a checkpoint, which wasn't in Lebanon three weeks ago, but now is a 'Hezbullah hotbed' and 'breeding ground'.

So Bajouk old chap -- you were a human shield callously used by Hezbullah terrorists. You weren't bombed by Israel -- Israel doesn't kill innocents.
