Israel blames mistake in map for strike on UN post in Lebanon

Israel said on Friday that its air force accidentally struck a United Nations position in southern Lebanon during its recent war with the radical Hezbollah movement, because of an inaccurate map which failed to clearly position the UN base.

Four UN staff members from China, Canada, Finland and Austria died in the July 25 airstrike in the southern Lebanese town of Khiam.
