4 million cluster bombs

"A man working on a mine clearing team was injured on Tuesday when a cluster bomb exploded in Deir Qanoun near Tyre in South Lebanon. Hussein Yassin Mrad, 37, was injured while working with the Norwegian People’s Aid mine clearing team. He was transported to a local hospital and his injuries were reported to be mild. The bomb that exploded was a remnant of Israel’s summer 2006 war on Lebanon. Israel dropped about 4 million cluster bombs over millions of square meters of South Lebanon during the last 48 hours of the conflict."
