Incident... actually, a very strange and cynical name to give to such a deadly event.
In one of the most dramatic development in the fighting Friday, an Israeli unmanned plane fired at the convoy, which included a 350 joint Lebanese army and police force as well as 500 civilian cars. They left Marjayoun after hours of U.N. mediated negotiations which succeeding in receiving Israeli assurances for the convoy's safety.
The attack came as the convoy was en route from Jib Jannin to Kefraya in the south of the Bekaa valley, security officials said. They said most of the casualties were civilians.
"The Israeli forces had been told in advance of the convoy's passage, and had given it the green light," UNIFIL spokesman Milos Strugar said.

I dont have high hopes for the cease fire.
I think Israel will keep going for a while, they will ignore this and the next one or two resolutions.
This entire war is unforgivable. It should never have happened.
The worst thing about it, is that there will be no consequences for this wanton destruction and indiscriminate loss of life.
Not on either side, though as I've said before, Israel bears the brunt of the responsibility here.
All this death and destruction was completely by choice, not from necessity.
