I guess you would have to break that question down into two parts - 1. There were no rockets being fired from that village, and the village was randomly attacked. 2. There were rockets fired from that village, and the civilians were caught in the crossfire.
Let me provide my answer first:
1. The Israelis, and anyone for that matter, would be committing murder to target non-combatants. I think that point goes without saying.
2. If there were rockets being fired from that village, than they were justified in attacking those launchers. It is a lose lose scenario - if they attack, civilians will be killed, and those scenes will be played out in the media - a propaganda victory to the terrorists. If they don't attack - they sanction the use of civilians as shields, ensuring their continued use, and ensuring Israel will not be able to defend themselves. They have no choice but to defend themselves, and the blood of civilians is on Hezbollahs heads.
What do you think?

BlackPride - I can tell you have never been in the military, but watch a lot of movies. I don't care how good you can see at night, or how accurate your bombs are - when you drop a 2000lb bomb on a target, there is going to be collateral damage on and around the target.
So again, the question is - where they justified in the attacks that killed those civilians.
