Photographer 1: Don't worry Achmed, it probably won't go off. Just get a little closer.
When Um Ali Mihdi returned to her home in the southern Lebanese city of Bint Jbeil two days ago, she found a 1,000lb (450kg) Israeli bomb lying unexploded in her living room.

Photographer 2: Dunno chap. I'm not too bloody sure that 'll sell the story you see. Got a bit o' a pre-built narrative and all.

When Um Ali Mihdi returned to her home in the southern Lebanese city of Bint Jbeil two days ago, she found a 1,000lb (450kg) Israeli bomb lying unexploded in her living room.

Photographer 1: Right again, chum! Let's see. By Joe I've got it! Hand me some of those catsup packets from McFalafel. Right! Now a little here, a little there. Now, get the cameras ready.

The shell is huge, bigger than the young boy and his baby brother's kitten reluctantly and intentionally targeted, crushed under it while we get our cameras out and record the scene for posterity, splattering what would appear to be blood over the ruined room.
