In July 2006, Israel urged on by the US, attacked Lebanon with the systematic targetting of civilians and civilian infrastructure. The 12th of July marked the first anniversary of the War on Lebanon. Last year at this time, Israeli terrorism was ravaging the populated towns and cities of Lebanon; raining down tonnes of precision-guided bombs supplied by permanent members of the United Nations Security Council -- the so-called 'security preserving' nations of the world. In addition to the use of banned chemical weapons during the war, in a final show of their true barbaric nature, Israel carpetted Southern Lebanon with over 4 million cluster bomblets in the final three days of the war. Today over 1.5 million unexploded cluster devices littering neighbourhoods, continue to kill and maim the innocent women and children of Lebanon.
