Saw this just a second ago over at LGF WAtch:

Haaretz reports that an Israeli military commander has essentially admitted that Israel committed war crimes against civilians in Lebanon. Not exactly news that it happeend, but it is news that someone is coming forward.

What we did was insane and monstrous, we covered entire towns in cluster bombs,” the head of an IDF rocket unit in Lebanon said regarding the use of cluster bombs and phosphorous shells during the war.

Quoting his battalion commander, the rocket unit head stated that the IDF fired around 1,800 cluster bombs, containing over 1.2 million cluster bomblets.

In addition, soldiers in IDF artillery units testified that the army used phosphorous shells during the war, widely forbidden by international law. According to their claims, the vast majority of said explosive ordinance was fired in the final 10 days of the war.

Read the rest at Haaretz.
