The Israelis were not targeting non combatants; they are engaged in a war with a terrorist organization that uses civilians as shields for military operations. Cluster bombs are a legitimate weapon against military targets. The fact that innocent lives have been lost is simply because Hezbollah wants it that way. They did not have to start firing missiles at Israel in the first place. Lebanon is being used by Hezbollah, to provide these kind of casualties on purpose. Hezbollah was supposed to be disarmed a long time ago, but wasn't.
