On a Red Cross mission of mercy when Israeli air force came calling

07/28/06 "The Independent" -- -- It was supposed to be a routine trip
across the Lebanese killing fields for the brave men and women of the
International Red Cross. Sylvie Thoral was the "team leader" of our two
vehicles, a 38-year-old Frenchwoman with dark brown hair and eyes like
steel. The Israelis had been informed and had given what the ICRC likes
to call its "green light" to the route. And, of course, we almost died.
Trusting the Israeli army and air force, which are breaking the Geneva
Conventions almost every day, is a dodgy business.
