Synopsis

In November 2006, Lebanon faces ongoing casualties from cluster bombs despite silence of guns.

Synopsis

In November 2006, the conflict in Lebanon leaves a lasting impact as the guns have fallen silent, yet the war continues to claim new victims every day. An estimated 4 million cluster bombs are fired into Lebanon, with 90% deployed during the last 72 hours of fighting. A Lebanese woman expresses her sorrow, stating, 'The Israelis fought Hezbollah and could not win, so they turned their fight against us.' An Israeli soldier reveals the shock of using cluster bombs, saying, 'Everyone was surprised cluster bombs were being deployed.' His unit alone fired 1.2 million of these munitions, highlighting the devastating aftermath of the conflict that persists long after the fighting stops.
