IDF: Qana building fell hours after strike*
*Israel Concludes that Hizbullah blew up their own building to implicate
a Jewish Slaughter*
IDF continuing to check difficult incident at Qana village, and
attempting to account for strange gap between time of the strike on the
building – midnight – and eight in the morning, when the building
exploded and collapsed-Hanan Greenberg
An IDF investigation has found that the building in Qana exploded and
fell around eight hours after other targets in the area were hit in an
air raid being hit by the IDF.
"The attack on the structure in the Qana village took place between
midnight and one in the morning. The gap between the timing of the
collapse of the building and the time of the strike on nearby targets
was very suspicious and unclear," Brigadier General Amir Eshel, Head of
the Air Force Headquarters told journalists at the Defense Ministry in
Tel Aviv, following the incidents at Qana.
Building not targeted
Eshel and the head of the IDF's Operational Branch, Major General Gadi
Eisnkot said the structure was not being attacked when it collapsed, at
around 8:00 in the morning.
The IDF believes that Hizbullah put explosives in the building and were
behind the explosion that caused the collapse and killed 60 people
Another possibility is that the unstable and poorly constructed building
remained standing for a few hours, but eventually collapsed. "It could
be that inside the building, things that could eventually cause an
explosion were being housed, things that we could not blow up in the
attack, and maybe remained there, Brigadier General Eshel said.
"I'm saying this very carefully, because at this time I don't have a
clue as to what the explanation could be for this gap," he added.
Meanwhile in Lebanon it is being reported that the number of those
killed in the collapse of the structure climbed to 60.
All targets struck accurately
Eshel said that an additional attack took place at 7:30 in the morning,
but added that other buildings were targeted. "This was an attack on
three buildings 460 meters away from the structure we are talking about.
Four bombs were dropped and all of them are documented by the planes'
cameras. They all struck their targets. In addition, we carried out a
filming sortie that photographed the village during the afternoon
showing that the three targeted buildings we struck. We have
verification of strikes on the building and that the bombs reached their
targets," Eshel said.
"An attack that took place at two in the morning struck two targets,
both of them 400 meters away from the building (that collapsed). They
were also destroyed. The attack between 12 and 1 a.m. struck the area of
the affected house, and there were accurate strikes on the target. We
are asking the question – what happened between 1 in the morning and 8
in the morning… we understand this building was attacked between 12 and
1 in the morning, seven hours before it was seriously damaged," he said.
Brigadier General Eshel explained that "since the start of fighting in
Lebanon 150 rockets from a very high number of rocket launchers have
been fired from the village and its surrounding areas, at a number of
sites in the State of Israel. Within the village itself we have located
a diverse range of activities connected to firing of rockets, beginning
from forces commanding this operation – because such an operation needs
ongoing command to direct it – and logistical sites that serve this end."
"From this village rockets are fired almost every day across Israel. The
operation carried out overnight is an extension of operations that
didn't start last night but before, and during this night we struck a
number of targets in the village. All of the targets are being
meticulously sifted," Eshel added.
