TYRE (AFP) - A Lebanese father of three was killed by a cluster bomb dropped by Israeli forces during last year’s war in Lebanon, police said on Thursday.

Mohamed Hamzi, 33, was killed in the village of Zebqine near the southern port city of Tyre when a cluster bomb exploded as he was gathering wood to heat his home, police said.

The munitions dropped by Israel during its devastating air war against Lebanon last year included at least a million cluster bomblets, according to the United Nations.

Unexploded ordnance has killed at least 36 people and wounded 227 since the conflict ended in August 2006, according to UN figures.
