Human Rights Watch has accused Israel of using artillery-fired cluster bombs that disperse after impact in populated areas of Lebanon.The human rights organisation's researchers said cluster munitions were used in an attack on the village of Blida in southern Lebanon on July 19, killing one and wounding at least 12 civilians, including seven children.
Human Rights Watch said its researchers photographed cluster munitions in the arsenal of Israeli artillery teams on the Israel-Lebanon border.
"Cluster munitions are unacceptably inaccurate and unreliable weapons when used around civilians," Kenneth Roth, executive director of Human Rights Watch, said in a statement.
"They should never be used in populated areas." [...]
Human Rights Watch said it had photographed M483A1 artillery shells stored on the Israeli side of the border, which deliver 88 cluster submunitions per shell and have a failure rate of 14 per cent, often leaving behind dangerous unexploded shells.
It said it believed the use of cluster grenades in populated areas could violate a ban on indiscriminate attacks contained in international humanitarian law.

Is there no limit to those Israelis' iniquity, no decency left in their morals?The world doesn't owe those murderous Israelis any more debt or blood-guilt. The world's slate of guilt-conscience should have been wiped clean by now, if we consider the heinous manner the Jewish State had acted against the Palestinians and Lebanese. Like the Nazis who punished their forefathers, they too demonstrate the same unmitigated evil and malice towards innocent Lebanese and Palestinian civilians.
