According to the New York Timearticlele Human Rights Group Accuses Irael of War Crimes in Lebanon Statements from the Israeli militaryiofficialsficals seem to confirm that the destructiinfrastructurercture was indeed a goal of the military campaign..in village after village the pattern was similar: the street, especially main streets, were scarredartilleryillery craters along their length. In some cases, cluster bomb impact were identified.

According to the Amnesty International report the Israeli carpet bombing was a deliberate and integral part of the military strategy rather than collateral damage. The report notes another urgent issue is the number of unexploded bomblets from Israeli cluster bombs littering the southern villages.

Tekimit Gilbert, the operations chief of a United Nations mine removal team, told reports in Tyre 170 cluster bomb cluster strikes in south Lebanon. It's a huge problem. There are obvious dangers with people, children, cars. People are tripping over these things.

Fox News made on Ausgust 12, made no reference to earlyer New York Times coverage about the concerns raised by the US State Departemt about the civilian casualties US made M26 missile use would create. Nor did the Fox News inform its viewers that one launchers's full load carries more than 7,700 DPCIM bomblets (submunitions). The impact area of all those submunitions was a square kilometer. The deadly M26 rocket is so lethal that Iraqi soldiers name it "steel rain".

Fox New nor CNN has to date said anything about the Human Rights Watch reports of massive destruction and lost of human life caused Israel fired artillery-fired cluster munitions in populated areas of Lebanon. Nothing was said about M26 rockets planned use against the 600 trapped Hezhollah positions in southren Lebanon now trapped and surrounded by Israeli forces armed with M26 missiles.

According to the New York Times, the Israeli military has fired artillery rounds from the disputed territory of Shabaa Farms to the Lebanese village of Shabaa. Deadly GPS Israeli M26 armed units in Shabaa Farms are positioned to attack Hezbollah resupply lines in southern Syira.
