I hope no harm comes to them and will include them in my prayers but I have to add something about this subject:

People make choices and have to deal with the consequences.
If they decide to go to Lebanon, they are conciously accepting the risk that they may become a statistic of war.
Although tragic these people are not victims, they are participants.

I also do not believe the people of lebanon are completely innocent.
Hezbollah is part of their government and widely supported. Either they actively support the terrorists, or they passively support the terrorist cause.
Either way they directly or indirectly contributed to this war.
Your brother is quick to critisize the Iraelli military. What does he say about Hezbollah?
