attempting to account for strange gap between time of the strike on the
building - midnight - and eight in the morning, when the building collapsed

"The attack on the structure in the Qana village took place between midnight
and one in the morning. The gap between the timing of the collapse of the
building and the time of the strike on it is unclear," Brigadier General
Amir Eshel, Head of the Air Force Headquarters told journalists at the
Defense Ministry in Tel Aviv, following the incidents at Qana.

Eshel and the head of the IDF's Operational Branch, Major General Gadi
Eisnkot said the structure was not being attacked when it collapsed, at
around 8:00 in the morning.

The IDF believes that Hizbullah explosives in the building were behind the
explosion that caused the collapse.

Another possibility is that the rickety building remained standing for a few
hours, but eventually collapsed. "It could be that inside the building,
things that could eventually cause an explosion were being housed, things
that we could not blow up in the attack, and maybe remained there, Brigadier
General Eshel said.

"I'm saying this very carefully, because at this time I don't have a clue as
to what the explanation could be for this gap," he added.

[ed. It certainly is very curious - not for Sky News or the BBC of course
who see Hezbollah as 'freedom fighters'...]

Meanwhile in Lebanon it is being reported that the number of those killed in
the collapse of the structure climbed to 60.

All targets struck accurately

Eshel said that an additional attack took place at 7:30 in the morning, but
added that other buildings were targeted. "This was an attack on three
buildings 460 meters away from the structure we are talking about. Four
bombs were dropped and all of them are documented by the planes' cameras.
They all struck their targets. In addition, we carried out a filming sortie
that photographed the village during the afternoon showing that the three
targeted buildings we struck. We have verification of strikes on the
building and that the bombs reached their targets," Eshel said.

"An attack that took place at two in the morning struck two targets, both of
them 400 meters away from the building (that collapsed). They were also
destroyed. The attack between 12 and 1 a.m. struck the area of the affected
house, and there were accurate strikes on the target. We are asking the
question - what happened between 1 in the morning and 8 in the morning. we
understand this building was attacked between 12 and 1 in the morning, seven
hours before it was seriously damaged," he said.

Brigadier General Eshel explained that "since the start of fighting in
Lebanon 150 rockets from a very high number of rocket launchers have been
fired from the village and its surrounding areas, at a number of sites in
the State of Israel. Within the village itself we have located a diverse
range of activities connected to firing of rockets, beginning from forces
commanding this operation - because such an operation needs ongoing command
to direct it - and logistical sites that serve this end."

"From this village rockets are fired almost every day across Israel. The
operation carried out overnight is an extension of operations that didn't
start last night but before, and during this night we struck a number of
targets in the village. All of the targets are being meticulously sifted,"
Eshel added.
