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.
Ottawa is sending in commercial vessels to help any Canadian citizen who wishes to leave Lebanon, MacKay said.
"We are securing these vessels. They will be in the region as soon as humanly possible," he told CBC Newsworld.
The Foreign Affairs Department says 16,000 Canadians have registered with the government to say they're in Lebanon, while estimating that there are likely two to three times that many in the country.
On Sunday, for the first time since fighting began, Israeli warplanes unleashed bombs on central Beirut, as well as pounding its suburbs and striking a major power station nearby.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah � which spurred the outbreak of violence with a cross-border raid on the Israeli military � carried out a deadly rocket attack on the northern Israeli port of Haifa.
About 130 Lebanese, most of them civilians have died since the violence erupted on Wednesday. At least 24 Israelis, including 12 civilians, have died from Hezbollah rockets. |

| No, but it would be nice if our government returned Canada to our traditional neutral stance in this affair. |

They won't do it.
Non-jewish "GOYIM" are only to be used by them as they see fit.
Enslaved or dead, to those calling the shots, they generally could care less.

Why need it be one side or the other? You're assuming a false dilemma. Dangerous & deceptive.
As was referred to earlier, a neutral position would likely be the best. From this vantage-point Canada might even be able to help broker a cease-fire.
These "trigger-happy" antagonists, meanwhile, want to see foreign nations sucked into the conflict, sides choosen, lines clearly drawn & divided |
