"They said that they were targeting a nearby rocket launcher. The told that story over and over while blaiming the victims of the attack on Hezbollah. They backed that lie up with the release of several videos that DID NOT SHOW THE QANA ATTACK AT ALL. Those videos were widely reported as video of the attacks. I watched MSNBC say it for several hours (even though FOX was clear about them not being the attack, go figure).
That same footage played over and over while commentators said that while it is not video of the events, the events were very similar. Pure bullshit. The events were nothing like that. They full well knew it too.
The IDF said that they had pictures of the incident would show that they were attacking a launcher. They saud that they were "processing" them and would release them soon. Another blad faced lie as no such incident took place.
Now the IAF has come out (very quitely) and clearly admitted that THERE WERE NO ROCKETS FIRED FROM QANA immediatley before the strike. The whole story was a massive lie and cover-up for a war crime. LIE AFTER DELIBERATE LIE. "

http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2006/8/1/9336/35343 "As the Israel Air Force continues to investigate the air strike, questions have been raised over military accounts of the incident.
It now appears that the military had no information on rockets launched from the site of the building, or the presence of Hezbollah men at the time.
The Israel Defense Forces had said after the deadly air-strike that many rockets had been launched from Qana. However, it changed its version on Monday."
