- Israel is deeply sorry.
- [on screen] Miri Eisen (ME), Israeli Government Spokeswoman
- We're deeply saddened by these images, by this attack, by this result
- Israel does not target civilians and there is no question that there will be, in Israel,
- a full and open investigation on how this happened. [pictures of destroyed buildings]
- Hezbollah has been firing rockets, not only from the town of Canaa right next to that building
- but from all of that surrounding area for the last 2-1/2 weeks.
- [anchor from offscreen] But some are saying that's not so, though, and what proof
- [ME continues] on both the Hariah and PuraSwarne
- [anchor offscreen]do you have that that is the case? Because other observers have suggested that that isn't the case
- [ME] Israel has already sent out many pictures around the world of Hezbollah firing the Katyusha rockets from within these
- civilizations, these different population centers and we have done so again today. We have footage which we will be putting out,
- of these Katyusha rockets There has never been a question about--
- [anchor from offscreen] Are you suggesting these--these--rockets--
- [ME]--that Hezbollah is hiding behind the civilians--
- [anchor]--are you suggesting that these rockets were fired from this 4-story building housing these women and children?
- [ME] As I said before, Israel deeply, deeply--is sorrowful--is saddened by what happened
- --this is definitely a mistake--
- [anchor, offscreen] Why was this building targeted?
- [ME] --we did not target this building.
- [anchor] You did not target it? Even thought you had guidance yourselves--
- [ME]The building was not--
- [anchor] --this was nor targeted?
- [ME] The building itself was not targeted, as I said.The building itself was next to the rocket launcher shots--the rocket launcher sites
- --and we are targeting all of those rocket launcher sites. This was a mistake.
- Israel deeply regrets this and we will have a full investigation.
- --as I said we are greatly saddened by the death of civilians, [emergency personnel moving bodies]
- while Hezbollah is firing into our civilian population and targeting Israelis all over northern Israel.
- But what impact are you having? [body being carried out on a stretcher]
- There is no evidence that you are having any impact on Hezbollah in any way.
- They keep firing their weaponry which is nowhere of the same caliber as that of the Israeli army. How do you explain that?
- All of these women and children, all these civilians killed, and yet very little impact, it seems, on Hezbollah at all!
- [ME] War is a terrible thing, Rosemary, and it's a great tragedy that's happening right now. [searching for bodies]
- There is a terrorist organization which has hidden itself inside the civlians all over Southern Lebanon and in Beirut.
- They hold tens of thousands of rockets that they're firing daily on Israelis, they have already fired thousands of rockets into Israel
- When I look at the pictures at Cana, as you do, it is a terrible tragedy and, as I said, we deeply, deeply are sorrowful over this
- and this was a mistake. But that doesn't mean that Israel won't continue to pursue Hezbollah whereever they are in
- Lebanon as they continue to fire their terrorist rockets at Israel all of the time [anchor] But they're crude rockets, aren't they?
- And after all, their impact has been minimal compared to the impact of Israeli strikes on Lebanon. Explain something to us--
- why would you not try to be shooting these missiles--these Katyusha missiles or rockets, we should say, --
- they're not missiles at all-- why would Israel not be trying to shoot them out of the sky? They have the capability to do that.
- No, Rosemary, these are Katyusha rockets which are a kind of rocket which they fire a barrel a dozen--and the fact that there haven't
- been casualties in Israel shouldn't necessarily be held against us. Israelis--a million and a half--are sitting inside bomb shelters
- and have been doing so for the last 2-1/2 weeks--and all of the Israelis who have been killed have been those who have come
- out for air from the bomb shelters.The rockets themselves are standard rockets. These are rockets that are made in Iran
- in Syria, supplied to Hezbollah. The fact that they are supplied--they continue to be supplied there--
- is part of this entire terrorist organization denying Israel's right to exist.
- Trying to hold all of northern Israel hostage to their demands.
- Two-and-one-half weeks ago, they crossed an internationally recognized border
- in an unprovoked attack, they kidnapped two Israeli servicemen and they opened fire all over Northern Israel
- I'm not saying that we can, in any way, justify the attack today, but we will continue to defend the state of Israel
