Brand new 2006 Malibu by Kathy Gannon q Ana Lebanon Abu Shadi Jeradi pulled bodies out of wreckage for hours two toddler girls wearing tiny Gold earrings a Small boy whose Pale Blue pacifier still Hung from his neck. Somewhere in the Middle he slumped beneath a tree and wept. There Are so Many children so Many children the Veteran civil defence worker said yesterday barely Able to get out the words. The dead still had signs of their last moments when dozens of members of the Shalhoub and Hashem families had gathered together for shelter and company during another night of israeli bombardment. Kids wore the shorts and t shirts they slept in. One body was wrapped in a Childs bed Sheet covered with Raggedy Ann and Andy figures. Their three Storey House on the outskirts of the Village of Ana was levelled when a missile crashed into it at 1 a. M. Red Cross officials said 56 were killed among whom police reported 37 children and 12 adult women the worst single strike in israelis Campaign in Lebanon. Israel apologized for the strike but blamed Hezbollah saying its guerrillas had fired rockets from nearby the House. It said it had warned residents of the Village to leave. Like in Many villages of the South support for Hezbollah guerrillas is Strong in Ana 15 Kilometres from the israeli Border. Hezbollah flags were placed on some of the bombed out buildings. From his Hospital bed in Tyre Mohammed Ali Shalhoub said that from their Graves his wife and children were All saying god bless Sheik Hassan Nasrallah the guerrillas Leader. Many in Ana like the thousands believed holed up across South Lebanon said they were too afraid to leave on roads that have been heavily bombarded by israeli forces. The main Road to the nearest City Tyre is lined with cars smashed by missiles and pancakes buildings. Lebanese quickly branded the strike a Anas second massacre. In april 1996, israeli shells hit a in peacekeepers compound where 800 lebanese had taken Refuge during another offensive against Hezbollah called operation grapes of Wrath. The shelling killed 106 refugees. Israel said at the time Hezbollah fighters had slipped into the in compound. Yesterday Rescue workers dripped with sweat in the blistering heat As they pored through the wreckage tossing out a baby Carriage and moving hunks of Concrete and Brick. Thirteen year old Noor Hashem was one of Only eight survivors found by the afternoon. She was pulled out by her Uncle Mohammed Ali Shalhoub whose wife five children and Mother All died. Has hems four brother and Sisters were also killed. Her Mother survived but she did not know abut her father. Hashem said she woke up screaming when the rocket hit. I was so afraid. There was dirt and rocks and i see. Everything was Black. I see anyone. I tried to push the rocks and everything off of me and then someone pulled me out she said. Khalil Shalhoub who had been Clearing rubble lunged at a Stretcher when he saw who it carried his brother. The workers carrying it stumbled As he screamed. Khalil had been in a nearby House when the missile hit. It came in right at the door. I saw it. It was aimed right for the door he said. He said planes were still firing afterwards preventing him and others from Rushing to the wreckage in the night. In this Village there Are so few places to hide that we just go into one or two houses and sit together. It is like a shelter he said. Jeradi said he got the Call to Rush to Ana from Tyre. But he go immediately with israeli warplanes still overhead. It was too dangerous he said. Through the morning workers dug with their hands before heavy machinery arrived in the afternoon to search for bodies deeper within the wreckage. They found them around 18 bodies in one room Security officials said. The dead were carried out in blankets sheets and carpets. The eldest was a 95 year old Man a Shalhoub the youngest a nine month old child of the hashes. The Arm of a child slipped from beneath the dirty Grey Blanket that covered him. On the same Stretcher toes painted with Bright red polish peeked out. A Rescue worker lifted the Blanket to show two shattered children who were curled up looking asleep except for the thick dried blood at their noses. In Ana resident Mohammed Ismail waved at seven dead bodies lined on the ground saying u. S. President George w. Bush laughs when they ask him about the dead bodies. One elderly Man from the Shalhoub family walked shakily for several Steps then collapsed crying in the arms of one ambulance worker. Why i dont know Why. I love my god my family nothing else and for that i should be killed. Canadian press Jerusalem israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert expressed great sorrow yesterday for the airstrikes that destroyed houses in the lebanese town of Ana and killed dozens of people Many of them children. Later yesterday Israel agreed to a 48 hour suspension of Aerial activity Over Southern Lebanon after its bombing of a lebanese Village yesterday that killed a number of children the u. S. State department said. In addition to suspending air attacks Israel will also allow the opening of corridors for 24 hours for lebanese civilians who want to leave South Lebanon for the North and would maintain land sea and air corridors for humanitarian assistance officials said. Israeli government officials confirmed Olmert agreed to an immediate 48 hour halt in air strikes on Lebanon around Midnight yesterday while the military concludes its inquiry into the attack on the South lebanese Village of Ana. The officials left open the possibility that Israel might hit targets to Stop imminent attacks and that the suspension could last less than 48 hours if the military completes its inquiry before then. Lebanon said the israeli suspension was inadequate. There is no ceasefire and there is no cessation of hostilities lebanese special envoy Nouhad Mahoud told reporters at the United nations late sunday. We Are looking for something much More than that. The attack marred Secretary of state condole Ezza rices Mission to halt the fighting Between Israel and Hezbollah. I express great sorrow in the name of the state of Israel and the army Over the deaths of lebanese civilians in Ana Olmert said during israelis weekly Cabinet meeting according to a participant in the meeting. There is nothing further from our thoughts and our interests than striking civilians. Everyone understands this. When we strike civilians the world understands this is an exceptional Case that does not represent How we act Olmert said. Ana has been used by Hezbollah guerrillas to fire hundreds of rockets at Israel Olmert said accusing Hezbollah guerrillas of wanting to see childrens blood this is the Only weapon they have left. We will not Stop this Battle despite the difficult incidents this morning Olmert said. We will continue the activity and if necessary it will be broadened without hesitation. The attacks at Ana came just five Days after Israel bombed a in Post in Southern Lebanon killing four in observers. Army chief of staff it. Gen. Dan Halutz said the army tried to limit civilian deaths but that was especially difficult in the fight against Hezbollah. A terror organization by its nature seeks cover among and Between civilians. We Are required to do everything we can to hit a minimum number of civilians. I cant Promise that this is 100 per cent possible he said. Unfortunately people who gathered in one House and we did not know about their presence were struck. We regret this. The army said it had warned the residents several Days ago to leave the area because of Hezbollah activity there. A senior air Force official speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to divulge details of the attack said Hezbollah fighters had launched rockets from As close As 50 metres from the building that was destroyed yesterday. The official added that the villages in the area looked abandoned to the military. Associated press i was so afraid.
