UN: Israel gives Lebanon cluster bomb data from 2006 war
By The Associated Press
Tags: Israel News, Lebanon, IDF 

The United Nations peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon said on Tuesday that the Israel Defense Forces has handed over data on cluster bombs fired during the 2006 war with the militant Hezbollah group.

The move follows UN and Lebanese calls for information that could help
eliminate the threat that has killed more than 20 civilians and wounded about 200 since the fighting.

According to a UN statement from Lebanon, peacekeepers received technical strike data and related maps Tuesday and will pass them on to the Lebanese army.

The UN and human rights groups say Israel dropped about 4 million cluster
bomblets during the monthlong war. Up to 1 million failed to explode and can detonate at the slightest disturbance. Lebanon's south is also riddled with land mines.
