A detailed timeline of the bombing has been provided by UN sources and reported by CNN. According to the timeline, the first bomb exploded around 200 yards from the post at 1.20pm yesterday.Unifil observers then telephoned their designated contact with the Israeli military, who assured them the attacks would stop.
Over the next several hours, nine more bombs fell close to the post, each one followed by a call to the Israeli military, the UN officer said.The main Unifil base in the town of Naqoura lost contact with the post at 7.40pm, seemingly the time when the post received a direct hit.
A report was made by Milos Strugar, a United Nations Interim Force spokesman, shortly after the bomb hit: "One aerial bomb directly impacted the building and shelter in the base of the United Nations Observer Group in in the area of Khiam," he said. "There are casualties among the observers. A UNIFIL dispatched rescue team which is on the spot is still unable to clear the rubble," he said. He also reported that Israeli firing continued during the rescue operation

UN observers in Lebanon telephoned the IDF 10 times in six hours to ask
it to stop shelling near their position before an attack killed
four observers and sparked international anger against Israel,
UN officials said Wednesday.

"The co-ordinated artillery and aerial attack on a long established and clearly marked UN post ... occurred despite personal assurances given to me by (Israeli) Prime Minister Ehud Olmert that UN positions would be spared Israeli fire."
