Some of the right-wing bloggers are linking to a report on CTV.ca of an e-mail from the now deceased Canadian UN observer. The e-mail is dated July 18 and has some interesting info.

This is all the information of a non-tactical nature that I can provide you. I cannot give you any info on Hezbollah position, proximity or the amount of or types of sorties the IAF is currently flying. Suffice to say that the activity levels and operational tempo of both parties is currently very high and continuous, with short breaks or pauses. Please understand the nature of my job here is to be impartial and to report violations from both sides without bias. As an Unarmed Military Observer, this is my raison d'etre.
What I can tell you is this: we have on a daily basis had numerous occasions where our position has come under direct or indirect fire from both artillery and aerial bombing. The closest artillery has landed within 2 meters of our position and the closest 1000 lb aerial bomb has landed 100 meters from our patrol base.
This has not been deliberate targeting, but has rather been due to tactical necessity.

I have no idea how accurate this is or what biases CTV.ca may have, so others with more info please post it. The site also has a story about the UN observer's widow claiming it was intentional.
