Here are the two, staged scenes being discussed in the media.

Case 1: Same Buildings, Different Dates (reference: Reuters calls the doctor, take 2):

The Reuters caption reads: “Journalists are shown by a Hizbollah guerrilla group the damage caused by Israeli attacks on a Hizbollah stronghold in southern Beirut, July 24 2006. (Adnan Hajj/Reuters)”

The Reuters caption reads: “A Lebanese woman looks at the sky as she walks past a building flattened during an overnight Israeli air raid on Beirut’s suburbs August 5, 2006. (Adnan Hajj/Reuters)”

Obviously, these are the same scenes. Once again, photomanipulator Adnan Hajj took these shots.

Case 2: Same Woman, Different Dates (reference: Extreme Makeover – Beirut Edition):

“A Lebanese woman wails after looking at the wreckage of her apartment, in a building, that was demolished by the Israeli attacks in southern Beirut July 22, 2006. REUTERS/Issam Kobeisi (from Yahoo News)”

“A Lebanese woman reacts at the destruction after she came to inspect her house in the suburbs of Beirut, Lebanon, Saturday, Aug. 5, 2006, after Israeli warplanes repeatedly bombed the area overnight.(AP Photo/Hussein Malla) (from Yahoo News)”

Uh, that is the same woman, and she appears to be wearing the same burka. Does anyone truly believe that she lost two houses in two weeks? In case you’re not convinced that it’s the same woman, check them out side-by-side:

From our reference, Drinking From Home:

Same clothes, same scar on her left cheek, same mark under her right eye. Two pictures of the same woman, maybe even taken on the same day.

Folks, these are staged photographs and news stories, and Reuters is publishing made-up propaganda which, in ALL cases, slanders Israel. Again, stay tuned. There is bound to be more as this completely unravels.
