Woman injured by Lebanon rocket
A rocket fired from Lebanon has lightly wounded one woman in northern Israel, the Israeli army says.
Lebanese security sources said that three rockets had been fired from southern Lebanon but two had landed inside Lebanese territory.
Lebanese sources say that Israel retaliated by firing at least six artillery shells at the areas where the rockets had been launched.
No-one has claimed responsibility for the rocket firing.
A Lebanese source told Reuters that rockets had been fired from the area of Mansouri, south of Tyre, towards Israel.
A woman is reported to have been injured by flying glass in her home when the rocket landed near the Israeli town of Maalot near the Lebanese border.
The Israeli army said it had fired shells in response to the rocket attack.
During the recent conflict in Gaza, rockets from Lebanon were fired into Israel twice. Hezbollah denied responsibility for those rockets, suspected to have been fired by Palestinian militants. |
Look at this article.
This is BBC international news! One woman, slightly injured by flying glass .
Question is; Why is this news?
Certainly people all over the world are injured everyday because of nefarious acts. Rockets have been zooming around the Middle East for years, so why is it news worthy to report on every single israeli minor casualty??? If someone had died, then it is news. But the woman in this case got a few little cuts......! So, of course the WHOLE world needs to know. |

Incident in a war zone in a conflict that already gets too much attention.
Maybe it wasn't about documenting an Israeli casualty and it wasn't out of sympathy maybe it was documenting who attacked first. Why is this possibilty out of the question?
Now if you saw the BBC documenting traffic accidents in Israel or other accidents you would certainly have a point but I haven't see that. Have you?
for the record Israel seems to get more criticism than its enemies even though its enemies often do worse. |

| It is news because of the severity of the potential response. |
