Thread Name: BS: Israel used cluster bombs
Subject: RE: BS: Israel used cluster bombs
"This statement has been repeated endlessly, and I am getting tired of seeing this gibberish nonsense clog up the threads.

Shrapnel is not, as far as I know a prohibited munition. If so, frag grenades, 'daisy cutters', mortar rounds and many other types of munitions that also rely on the shrapnel effect would be too."


What nonsense? They have been shown, and are certainly prohibited to be used against civilian populations. The areas that Hezbollah was targetting were civilian.
