Eight Canadians were killed and six others seriously wounded in an Israeli air raid that hit a Lebanese town on the border with Israel on Sunday, Ottawa says.
Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Peter MacKay said the wounded Canadians were in critical condition after the town of Aitaroun was hit in the fifth day of fighting between the Israeli military and the Lebanese-based militant organization Hezbollah.
The victims were not immediately identified.
Lebanese TV reports said some of the victims were from the same family and had come from Canada to spend the summer holidays in Aitaroun.

Frankly I think the whole fricking region is off its rocker but yes, Israel has gone over the top and their current demands are more likely to trigger a civil war than anything else.
"deploy the Lebanese army to the southern border"
yeesh.
problem is it'll probably just give the powers-that-be a woody.
lets not forget what REALLY triggered the escalation...
Babies die as artillery barrage hits families on picnic beach (June 10)
Quote: ISRAELI artillery fire killed a Palestinian family who were picnicking on the beach in Gaza yesterday, as the shoreline was packed with people on a Muslim holiday.
Body parts, bloodstained baby carriages and shredded holiday tents were left strewn on the sand near Beit Lahiya, in northern Gaza, after the late- afternoon strike that killed at least seven people, thought to include the parents and children of one family.
The Israeli military immediately expressed regret for the civilian deaths and ordered a halt to all artillery, naval and other shellfire into the sealed-off Strip.
nice
odds of one of the militants who did the Gaza raid were a relative? my guess is "quite high".
