Human Rights Watch Director Middles East-N. Africa Sarah Leah Whitson on unexploded weapons
"And as we know now, over 90 percent of the clusters in Lebanon were used in the last three days of the war. These cluster bombs were used in civilian areas, they were used over entire towns and villages and we know the lasting effects of these are to continue to endanger people, to... anyone who comes near the unexploded duds. We believe that inaccurate and unreliable weapons should never be used and that the cluster bombs - many of the cluster bombs that Israel used were in fact so inaccurate and so unreliable that they should never be used in warfare. We also believe that they should never be used in civilian areas because of the risk of unexploded duds. Some of the, uh, cluster bombs that Israel used were so old that they had dud rates of over 70 percent. That means that over 70 percent of the bomblets they dropped didn't explode and are still somewhere on the ground in Lebanon waiting for some person walking by to step on it, um, to loose their limb or their life."
