Israel takes on the UN

Anyone catch wind of this yet? I heard it very very breifly on the news this morning and was only able to find it in print at BBC. How is Israel going to talk their way out of this one, and what is the possible backlash of these actions?

The four unarmed UN observers from Austria, Canada, China and Finland, died after their UN post was hit by an Israeli air strike on Tuesday.

The UN report says each time the UN contacted Israeli forces, they were assured the firing would stop.

Israel is conducting an investigation into the deaths, and has rejected accusations made by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan that the targeting of the UN position was "apparently deliberate".
