US evacuees speaking at a news conference accused Israel of killing innocent civilians by bombing Lebanon indiscriminately in its campaign to cripple Hezbollah.

Tom Charara, 50, of Long Beach, Calif., had taken his wife and children to visit the grandparents. "I've seen little kids being burned alive," he said. "There is nothing that calls for that kind of force."
