This is an edited collection of clips that I put together, featuring Salam Daher (“Green Helmet Guy”) from video shot by Al Manar TV (the Hizballah television channel, listed as a terrorist-supporting entity by the US State Department) on the day of the Israeli bombing in Qana that killed 28 Lebanese citizens. The full video is available in Windows Media format at this Wikipedia page. (Hat tip: Robin Boyd.)
I don’t think this adds very much to our understanding of the event, especially since it has already been admitted that bodies were staged and posed for photographs at Qana, but here it is for the historical record. It does tell us that Hizballah’s media wing was very aware of the public relations potential, and was on the scene very early—but we knew that, didn’t we? (Warning: graphic images.)
