More than 250 civilians and bomb-disposal operators have been killed or injured by them in southern Lebanon since the war ended." |
Yes this is the exact reason why the US military is the worlds leader in building safer munitions that deactivate after a certain amount of time. This means it's less likely to have a battlefield littered with live ordnance years or decades after a war has come and gone.
Can anyone name any other country that is doing the same?
