When will Israel stop teaching their kids to hate? Here, they write messages on bombs which would be dropped on densely populated areas during the Zionist regime’s second invasion of Lebanon in 2006. 

Over 1,100 Lebanese civilians were killed during the assault in July 11 years ago, with a large emphasis placed on targeting civilian infrastructure including schools and hospitals. 

One of the most deadly Israeli airstrikes in the offensive was on a three-story building in the village of Qana using precision-guided bombs, where 54 civilians were killed, 34 of whom children. 

Anthony Shadid for the Washington Post reported what he saw on the day: "Most of the dead had choked on flying dirt and other debris. Their bodies, intact, preserved their final gestures: a raised arm called for help, an old man pulled on pants. Twelve-year-old Hussein Hashem lay curled in the fetal position, his mouth seeming to have vomited earth. Mohammed Chalhoub sat on the ground, his right hand broken. Khadja, his wife and Hasna, his mother, were dead, as were his daughters, Hawra and Zahra, aged twelve and two. As were his sons, Ali, ten: Yahya, nine; and Assem, seven.”
