Wonder why there are so many civilian casualties in Lebanon? Ynet.com news has one answer.

The IDF has found that Hizbullah is preventing civilians from leaving villages in southern Lebanon. Roadblocks have been set up outside some of the villages to prevent residents from leaving, while in other villages Hizbullah is preventing UN representatives from entering, who are trying to help residents leave. In two villages, exchanges of fire between residents and Hizbullah have broken out.

I can just imagine the sort of conversations that go on in southern Lebanon. "You have volunteered for human shield duty for the glory of the Jihad-- whether you like it or not."
