#2 Doing the math, there are/were 1.6 million de facto Israeli land mines in southern Lebanon? It's amazing anybody still has legs.

#3 activists plan to plant trees in cleared minefields.

Come on, guys! Let's go dig some holes in this old minefield.

#4 Yet not a mention of the kidnapping of Israeli soldiers that caused Israel to attack.
No mention of the barrage of missiles Israel and its citizens have had to endure for years.
No mention of the poor Israeli children maimed and murdered by homicide bombers deliberately aiming at civilian targets, like busses and pizza joints.
Israel's cluster bombs were dropped during a war against enemy troops.
Must suck to be a kid in Lebanon when your elders attack a neighboring country and then bring harm to you by their foolish actions.
And the Lebanese seem to have plenty of time to dig bunkers and re-arm Hezbollah , but no time to de-mine their country.
I also dispute the assertion that 40% of cluster munitions didn't detonate when originally dropped.

More biased reporting and propaganda lies.

#5 To add.. of course it has to be Israeli cluster bombs always killing these kids.
It could never be any buried mines or munitions put there by Hezbollah.
Nope couldn't be [sarc]

Someone in the middle east needs to start an honest truthful TV network to counterbalance all this biased crap reporting.

#6 No possibility that these are Hizb'allah's bombs/mines, of course.

#8 @ trailing wife ... our 'sick' minds must think alike!
LOL

I'm betting it happened in an area not even near where Israel dropped munitions.

It never ceases to amaze me how middle east muzzies always seem to let their children play in live war zones.
And how Israels' munitions are always defective or only manage to hit soap factories and wedding parties.
Never any intended target. [sarc]

#9 to add part II...

Aug. 8, 2006

The UN Security council meets and representatives of the Arab League presents it with a new ceasefire plan, which involves Lebanon deploying 15,000 of its troops along the Israel-Lebanon border.

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert says Israel is seriously considering this proposal, calling it "interesting," but says Hezbollah guerillas must be disarmed and removed as a threat first.

Meanwhile, the Israeli military drops leaflets in the city of Tyre in southern Lebanon, warning people not to drive or their vehicles will be bombed. And Israeli air strikes hit Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon, as Israeli forces also try to get control of the militant group's villages and sites used to launch rockets at northern Israel.

Hezbollah and Israeli troops exchange gunfire in near Bint Jbail, a militant stronghold that Israeli troops have been trying to capture for weeks. Hezbollah reportedly attacks Israeli troops near the town of Naquora, killing two Israeli reservists. The militant group fires about 90 rockets on northern Israel by the afternoon.
