The Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR), MADRE, and the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) present:

THE QANA MASSACRE: TEN YEARS LATER

On April 18, 1996, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) shelled a United Nations Compound in Qana, Lebanon, killing over a hundred civilians and wounding hundreds more. Approximately 800 civilians had sought shelter in the compound from the shelling of their villages by the IDF. The U.N. General Assembly passed a resolution denouncing the IDF attack as violating the rules of international humanitarian law, and stated that Israel was responsible for compensation. Ten years later the victims have not been compensated, and justice has not been done. The Center for Constitutional Rights recently brought a class action lawsuit against Moshe Ya�alon, former Head of Army Intelligence for the IDF, demanding accountability and seeking compensation for the victims.

Join us as we commemorate this solemn anniversary with

• filmed testimonials from survivors,
• eyewitness accounts of the aftermath, and
• updates on efforts to bring those responsible to justice.
