Photos Reveal Israel Used Widely Banned Cluster Munitions in Attacks on Lebanon
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An investigation by The Guardian has found Israeli forces used cluster
munitions that are widely banned under international law during its
recent 13-month war in Lebanon. Photos published by The Guardian show
remnants of two different types of Israeli cluster munitions found in
three areas of southern Lebanon left devastated by Israeli attacks that
have killed almost 4,000 people. The weapons are banned by 124 states
that signed the Convention on Cluster Munitions, though Israel and the
United States are not signatories.
