Canaa...

Canaa is a small locality which is in Southern Lebanon not far from Tyr.
According to the Bible, it is there that the miracle of Cana took place, where Jesus changed water into wine, at the time of a ceremony of marriage. Another village of the same name disputes the fact to him of being the place present in the biblical account.
On April 18, 1996, during the operation Grapes of anger, it was the place of a drama, when Israeli aviation bombarded South-Lebanon. The population of Canaa, terrorized, put itself at the shelter in a camp under control of the FINUL. 106 people, as a majority of the women and the children perished in a camp of UNO. A cemetery and a monument commemorate this tragedy.
On July 30, 2006, during new confrontations between Israel and Hezbollah, the bombardment of a sheltering building of the refugees caused the death of at least 56 people, including 37 children.

At Canaa took place the miracle of the water transformed into wine. Unfortunately, no miracle saved, twice, of the women and the terrorized children of the bombardments of Israeli aviation.
Without pressure of the United States on Israel to obtain one to cease fire, only a miracle could save this area. Will it take place?
