Report: US cluster bombs were faulty

[Nostalgia]

The US has provided Israel with faulty cluster bombs that were dropped on wide areas of Lebanon, a report quoted Israeli sources as saying.

At least forty people have been killed and 252 wounded by Israeli cluster bombs dropped on Lebanon during the 2006 summer war, according to the UN.

Israeli officials blame faulty US-made cluster bombs that they say did not detonate during the fighting only to explode months after the war, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency reported on Tuesday.

In an interview with Haaretz in 2006, the head of a rocket unit in the Israeli military said, "What we did was insane and monstrous; we covered entire towns (in Lebanon) in cluster bombs."

Quoting his battalion commander, the rocket unit head had stated that Israel has dropped around 1,800 cluster bombs on Lebanon, containing over 1.2 million bomblets.
