The BBC reports that four UN observers have been killed when their outpost was targetted by Israelly airforce.

UN Secretary General Kofi Annan said he was “shocked” at the “apparently deliberate targeting” of the post. Israel has expressed “deep regret”.

It seems that Israel has taken the kidnapping of it’s three soldiers as justification needed to start a full-scale regional offensive.

The targetting and wholesale bombing of Lebanese residential areas - first in southern Lebanon and now in Sidon, where refugees have been fleeing to - as an attack against Terrorism takes familiar rhetoric far past the absurd.
