In a report released to mark the war’s first anniversary, Amnesty International is calling for an investigation into war crimes committed by each side. The report criticizes both Hezbollah for firing nearly 4,000 rockets at Israeli cities and Israel for bombing civilian areas and dropping more than a million cluster bombs, most in the last few days of the war. Amnesty says Israel should hand over maps of areas in Lebanon where the cluster bombs were dropped. Amnesty also says the U.N. should impose an arms embargo on both sides until restrictions can be imposed to ensure compliance with international law.
