merig00TYRE, LEBANON — A civil defense worker who has drawn controversy for holding up the bodies of children killed in Lebanon said Tuesday he was lightly injured fighting a weekend fire sparked by an Israeli bomb.
Salam Daher, dubbed the Green Helmet for the color of his civil defense headgear, said he was hit by debris Sunday when a bomb or missile fell on a building while he was helping to battle a fire at a gas station in the port city of Tyre.
"I fell over when the bomb hit, and I got some scratches from debris that flew up on my face," he said.
This guy, clearly a Hezbollah propagandist to anyone who's been paying attention, falls down and gets some scratches...yes scratches...on his face and it makes international headlines.
Meanwhile, the Israeli civilians who are killed and/or driven from their homes by Hezbollah rocket attacks go largely uncovered by the press.
That's just wonderful.
