Israeli military prosecutors uphold use of cluster bombs in Lebanon
USA Today

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli military prosecutors have concluded that Israel's use of cluster bombs during last year's war in Lebanon was legal under international law, military officials said Monday.
The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity under army regulations, said there will be no indictments issued for the use of the bombs and the matter is now closed.
The United Nations and human rights groups accuse Israel of dropping about 4 million cluster bomblets during the war. Up to 1 million failed to explode and now endanger civilians in the area. More than 30 people have been killed by cluster bomb and land mine explosions in Lebanon since the 2006 summer war between Hezbollah and Israel.
