They were working in the fields, to save what is left from the season while Israel constantly targets fruit trucks and convoys all over Lebanon.
They were men and agricultural workers.
They were workers having a break after a long day of peach and plum picking, resting to continue their day of work that extends to the night.
They were men, thirty-three of them, who died because they were working at a time when we are supposed to be all sitting home scared or demonstrating against the resistance as the enemy wishes.

Fact-sheet prepared by the Coalition to Oppose the Arms Trade
“Few Canadians realize that their country is one of the world’s leading producers and exporters of advanced, war technology. Such is the power of the long-prevailing mythology that Canada is a great, global force for peace.
However, many of Israel’s most-deadly, US-made weapons systems–now being used in air strikes against Lebanon–would not be able to function without hundreds of crucial, high-tech, electronic components supplied by Canadian war industries, and subsidized unwittingly by Canadian taxpayers.”
