Ten years ago Qana was the site of another massacre when Israeli artillery hit a UN refugee compound, killing more than 100. On that occasion Israel admitted that its gunners had used outdated maps and miscalculated the firing range of the shells (strange, in view of their initial claim that they had hit their target, it just wasn't in the right place).
Which makes it unlikely anyone will believe Israel this time around, even if they are telling the truth. Meanwhile, as 10 years ago, officials will presumably tour the scene, looking suitably serious through their photo-ops and return whence they came with barely a word which might help stop the slaughter.
