Russian Manuals Found In Lebanon
Dutch journalist Emerson Vermaat has filed a report with some startling information in it:
This calls into question Hezbollah's claims that 60 people were killed in the attacks. It also calls into question whether the reporters on the scene just bought Hezbollah's 'reports' without verifying the information.
It should disgust Israel's military that Russia is siding with Hezbollah in this fight. That's inexcusable. Russia should be punished somehow for their assisting a terrorist group like Hezbollah.

Dutch journalist Hans Jaap Melissen from the Dutch radio network 'Wereldomroep' claims to have seen remnants of missile launchers when he visited the devastated Lebanese city of Qana on 31 July 2006. In Qana, the Israeli air force recently bombed a building where more than fifty civilians were hiding. In a telephone interview with the Dutch TV news program 'Nova' Melissen first said that the bodies of 27 civilians (and not fifty or more) had been brought to the hospital and a number of civilians had been injured. He was then asked: 'Could the Israeli claim that Hezbollah launched missiles from the building be true? Melissen replied:The reason why I think this report has credibility is because the Dutch aren't exactly known for their bending over backwards for Israel. Besides, this Melissen is a war correspondent who doesn't appear to have a pro-Arab attitude. Besides, too much of what he said is easily verifiable.
'Yes, it could very well be true because it happened nearby. Today (31st July) I have been looking for (missile) installations. And then you see in the vicinity of Qana a garage from where even big missiles (rockets) were launched. You can still see the tubes or pipes from five meter long rockets. Launched from this position here, such missiles can penetrate deep into Israel. And at this spot where I was, where you see these destroyed installations and these very big pipes, you will also find a Russian manual on how to launch these missiles.
What you further see in the hills near Qana are small roads suitable for trucks with missile launchers, these are mobile launchers. But in the vicinity of that house in Qana I didn't see anything.'
This calls into question Hezbollah's claims that 60 people were killed in the attacks. It also calls into question whether the reporters on the scene just bought Hezbollah's 'reports' without verifying the information.
