Arutz Sheva: "Hizbullah Used Civilians, Mosques in Attack on IDF"

The truth is starting to come out about the killing of the UN observers:
Hizbullah refused to allow civilians to leave their village and used mosques in their ambush on IDF soldiers at Bint Jbiel Wednesday. Names of the nine fallen soldiers were released. Morale is high.


Hizbullah stored ammunition and weapons in mosques, knowing that the IDF does not attack religious sites. Civilians were not allowed so that Hizbullah could use them as cover. IDF officers said they ordered pilots not to strafe Bint Jbiel in order to spare civilian casualties.

A United Nations peace keeping officer from Canada told the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. that Hizbullah used the same tactic to draw fire on the UNIFIL post which resulted in the death of four U.N. observers. "This is their favorite trick," he said. "They use the U.N. as shields."
