Scientists studying samples of soil thrown up by Israeli bombing in Lebanon have shown high radiation levels, suggesting uranium-based munitions were used, a British newspaper reports. The samples were taken from two bomb craters in Khiam and At-Tiri and have been sent for further analysis to the Harwell laboratory in Oxfordshire, southern England, for mass spectrometry used by the Ministry of Defence, The Independent said. ... There was no need for Israel to use these weapons, just as there was no need for them to drop cluster bombs just before the truce.

The 34-day Israeli offensive against Hezbollah guerrillas in Lebanon left at least 1,287 people, nearly all civilians, dead and 4,054 wounded, according to an AFP count based on official Lebanese figures. At least 1,140 civilians -- 30 percent of them children under 12 -- have been killed along with 43 Lebanese army and police troops in the offensive, the state High Relief Committee said.

"The Bastards Nuked Lebanon" was one recent, perhaps only mildly OTT headline

IMO: Most countries are prone to behave badly during war and Israel is certainly no exception. I also bear in mind the oil pollution in coastal areas due to the Jewish bombing. These things can hardly be in the interest of longterm peace or even medium term Zionist aims. Some blame the lack of current experience of Israeli politicians and jobsworths in wars.
