Beirut - Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad
Siniora said on Monday that one person had been killed in an
Israeli air strike on the southern border village of Houla,
rather than 40 as earlier feared.
A resident said about 50 people had been found alive under
the rubble.
"The massacre in Houla, it turned out that there was one
person killed," Siniora told reporters.
"They thought that the
whole building smashed on the heads of about 40 people ... thank
God they have been saved."
