⚰Nmairiyeh and Ain Arab massacres, humanitarian truce refused

On 29 July 2006 raids destroyed two houses in Nmairiyeh, martyring seven, and seven more in Ain Arab; the resistance fired more than a hundred rockets and kept fighting on the Bint Jbeil triangle, and Israel refused the United Nations' request for a 72-hour humanitarian truce to evacuate the elderly and children. Sayyed Khamenei told Chávez that Hezbollah's leader "has become the person most beloved to the hearts of the world's peoples".
