Cluster bomb victims on the rise in southern Lebanon
Lets face it Israel uses Illegal weapons of Cluster Bombs and White Phosphorus in the civilian communities of Lebanon and America uses Illegal weapons of Cluster Bombs and White Phosphorus in the civilian communies of Iraq and they are immune to prosecution from the world community while all other countries are subject to the condemnation of Israel and America. BIG QUESTION? WHY ARE THESE TWO COUNTRIES IMMUNE FROM PROSECUTION FOR WAR CRIMES? and all other countries are not immune from prosecution or sanctions, or unalateral wars, it is the height of HYPOCRACY and SHAME.

Beirut- Cluster bomb explosions wounded three children and a man on Sunday, bringing to almost 60 the number of people hurt by the explosives since a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah two weeks ago, hospital sources said. The children, aged six to 11 years old, were wounded when one of six bomblets in the town of Blida, near the border with Israel.
A 39-year-old man in the bordertown of Houla was also hurt when a cluster bomb exploded in his home, the sources said.
Despite a massive public awareness campaign warning people of the thousands of unexploded cluster bombs left over from Israel's month- long blitz against Hezbollah fighters, casualties are reported each day.
Since the August 14 ceasefire, 11 people, including three members of a Lebanese army mine-clearing unit, have been killed, along with 47 wounded, according to government figures.
More than 280 cluster bomb strikes have been found so far across southern Lebanon, which was heavily bombed and shelled during Israel's offensive.
The United States said last week it would probe Israel's use of US-made cluster bombs, after the UN and international rights groups sounded alarms about what they call a growing emergency.
