In other news from Israel, Israel’s top military general has ordered an investigation into the use of cluster bombs during the Lebanon war. Israel has been widely criticized for targeting civilian areas and firing most cluster bombs during the final days of its invasion. Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Dan Halutz says he gave “explicit” orders not to fire into populated areas. Critics have called for an independent investigation, but Halutz has appointed an Israeli major general to lead the probe.
