Meanwhile, Israeli cluster bombs are continuing to kill and injure people in Lebanon. One person was killed Monday and at least 18 others were injured when Israeli clusters bomb exploded. A doctor at the public hospital in Nabatieh warned about the dangers posed by unexploded cluster bombs: “Children were playing or holding something from this (unexploded) munition and it exploded,” the doctor said. “One child was killed and a family of five was wounded.” The United Nations and the Lebanese government have urged residents to exercise extreme caution due to the large quantities of unexploded artillery and mortar shells strewn across the countryside. Last week the United Nations Security Counci called on Israel to provide all remaining maps of land mines in Lebanon.
