As part of the Israel Defense Force (IDF)'s Operation Grapes of Wrath, on April 13 1996 an Israeli helicopter (probably an AH-64 Apache) launched a rocket (AGM-114 Hellfire) towards a vehicle carrying about 13 civilians near the village of al-Mansuri, south of Tyre. The vehicle was near to a UN checkpoint manned by Fijian Soldiers when the attack took place. The deathtoll in the attack was six: 4 small children, their mother and 1 other woman. 5 other children were injured during the attack. Amnesty International claims that the vehicle was an ambulance being used to evacuate civilians from al-Mansuri after the IDF announced on SLA Radio that an attack on the village was imminent, while the IDF claimed that at the time the vehicle was attacked it was being used by a Hezbollah terrorists, and that it was a rescue vehicle and not a properly marked ambulance.
