Settling The Ambulance Issue Once And For All

I'm glad to see Michelle Malkin taking up the reports in which the Israeli Airforce allegedly attacked two Red Cross ambulances in Lebanon. See her post for media contact info. Perhaps the MSM will address this obviously at least partially false report.

While I posted extensively enough on this issue here and here, and now Zombie Time has done some excellent work in documenting most issues around the report, they left out the most definitive item I previously posted. Unless I missed it, in which case, my bad.

Here are images of Lebanese license plates. The high resolution image of the van which the Red Cross had posted (link broken) - not sure if I even have the file at home, though I'm sure ZombieTime does, allows you to see the license plates extremely clearly on several surrounding ambulances. They all have Red Cross Type 1 plates as seen in the photo at the license plate link above.

During the ITV video here and also at ZombieTime, I believe, you can see the allegedly targeted ambulances have Type 2 plates. Why the difference? I had asked an Israeli blogger with friends in Lebanon for help a while back, but they couldn't answer the question.

But bottom line, the ITV video and perhaps a previous Kevin Sites Video, as well, allow for the precise identification of the number on the rather old looking unusual typed license plates of one, if not both vans allegedly attacked. Given that information, the ambulance issue should be able to be definitively resolved.

Again, h/t to Michelle. See ZombieTime for more.

If I might offer two other observations about the ambulance pictured in the reports... First, the various bullet holes and "shrapnel" holes in the roof of the ambulance are clearly entrance hole and not exit holes. This is so because the sheet metal of the holes is pushed in and not out by the penetration. Had something exploded inside the ambulance, one would reasonably expect to see damage caused by debris from the inside out, not the other way around. Secondly, if a missile entered through the top of the ambulance, where did it go? There's no sign of an explosion inside the vehicle -- no soot, no blackening of the white interior, no damage to the interior, especially not to the floor of the ambulance directly below the hole in the roof. I suspect that the Hezbollah PR folks, like their media counterparts, weren't smart enough to notice the difference and assumed that the public would buy whatever story they were selling without question or pause. The only reason, in my opinion, that the news services publish this stuff is because Hezbollah controls media access and they need to print these hoaxes in order to have access so they can publish newer hoaxes in the future.
