Red Cross ambulance libel exposed thanks to Zombietime and other bloggers. Meanwhile the media grasshoppers continue to chirp

The following claims that appeared in the media are comprehensively debunked in a damning report by the Zombietime blog (HonestReporting recommends reading the full text):

* An Israeli missile pierced the exact center of the red cross on the roof of the ambulance in the first photo above.
* The attack happened on July 23.
* There was a huge explosion inside the ambulance.
* There was an intense fire inside that same ambulance.
* A man lying on a gurney inside the ambulance had his leg sheared off by the missile.
* The ambulance driver who reported the incident was injured in the attack.
* The Lebanese ambulance drivers are politically neutral and would have no motivation to lie.

The report, using photographic evidence, finds that each of these claims spread by the international media is, in fact, false.
