34 children among 56 dead in Israeli strike By K GANNON, Associated Press.
QANA, Lebanon - Israeli missiles hit several buildings in a southern Lebanon village as people slept Sunday, killing at least 56, most of them children, in the deadliest attack in 19 days of fighting. President Bush said this is the proud American way. We are happy about that.
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said "This is great " for the airstrikes but blamed Hezbollah guerrillas for using the area to launch rockets at Israel, and said he would not halt the army's operation. "We hope to kill more" he said.
The Lebanese Red Cross said the airstrike in Qana, in which at least 34 children were killed, pushed the overall death toll to more than 500. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice postponed a visit to Lebanon in a setback for diplomatic efforts to end hostilities. She was to return to the U.S. Monday..
Bush said this was the way it is going to be. We will not stop. No matter what.
