Eight Canadians Killed in Israeli Airstrike in Lebanon

HeadlineJul 17, 2006

Israel’s bombing campaign in Lebanon has become the most destructive assault on the country since Israel’s invasion in 1982. On Saturday as many as 15 Lebanese villagers — including women and children — were killed in an Israeli airstrike near the border village of Ter Harfa. Photos showed the bodies of the children strewn across a street. The civilians were trying to evacuate their home. On Sunday, eight Canadians from the same family were killed when Israeli aircraft bombed a house in southern Lebanon where they were vacationing. The dead included four children aged one, four, six and eight.
