Talk:20 fleeing Lebanese villagers killed by Israeli missile

New article.

Although there was a mention of this incident in another article, I did not want to correct the published one (as per the style guide) so I went ahead and wrote a new story. PVJ(Talk) 07:55, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

If you write a new story you should atleast give all the facts and a comment by the opposite side. and add more sources. Copying the POV of routers is not what wikinews is about.TiB 11:26, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Reuters is a British news agency, what makes you think they are the Hezbollah's propaganda tool? PVJ(Talk) 12:23, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Added another non-Reuters source. If you you can find any comments by Israel on this incident, please do add it to the article. 83.161.4.134 13:32, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Anyway the Israelis apparently have nothing to say about the killings. PVJ(Talk) 12:30, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Regarding civilian casualties in the area of Tyre, Lebanon, today

Saturday 15/07/2006 17:43

The Israel Air Force targeted an area near the city of Tyre, in southern Lebanon, used as launching grounds for missiles fired by Hezbollah terror organization at Israel.

The IDF regrets civilian casualties while targeting the missile launching area.

Responsibility for endangering civilian population rests on the Hezbollah terror organization which operates and launches missiles at Israel from populated civilian areas.

In the last 72 hours the Hezbollah terror organization has launched hundreds of rockets indiscriminately at Israeli cities putting over a million Israeli citizens within the range of missile fire.

The IDF makes every effort to keep civilians out of harm's way as we continue to defend the citizens of the state of Israel.

Merging (urgent)

Could we settle on just one (1) news article per day on this crisis? There's been created (at least?) four articles on the topic today; this, this, this and this. Could we please merge all four articles into one (1) article. So far, we've written just one article per day on this crisis. Could we please continue doing so? The current situation is VERY confusing. I came in here some minutes ago and I haven't a single clue on what article I should start editing!! --Jambalaya 21:29, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Israeli quote could be formatted better

I'm not sure on Wikinews style guides but with a quote that long it should be indented, the quotation marks get a little lost. When I first read it I thought that the quote finshed on the second line (could just be me). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.59.189.18 (talk • contribs) 14:15, 17 July 2006
