CHTOURA, Lebanon, Aug 4 (Reuters) - At least 25 farm workers, including many Kurds and Syrians, were killed on Friday when Israeli aircraft bombarded trucks being loaded with fruits at a farm on Lebanon's border with Syria, security sources said.

They said the farm was near the village of Qaa in the northern tip of the eastern Bekaa Valley. Aircraft fired at least three rockets at the trucks which were being loaded with peaches and plums.

The dead and about 15 wounded were being evacuated to hospitals in Syria, they said.

Thanks for the better link, cal04.:thumbsup:
